It's going to break records

In line with the Dubai tradition of breaking records and being the best overall, Meydan One is expected to be the largest mall in town. If navigating Dubai Mall has proven to be a daunting task, Meydan One is a different experience altogether.

Dubai expats are known for their love of the hobby known as shopping. With so much ground to cover, Meydan One will be able to house over 620 stores. Which brands are you expecting to see there?

It will be the best of both worlds



Namely old and new Dubai. Based on the photos released by Dubai Media Office, certain areas of the mall will be built in the style of traditional UAE houses.

You can kayak in the mall premises .

Or any other water sport for the matter.  But just let that sentence sink in. Water sports. Mall. Normally it would be ill-advised to try and paddle a kayak or go stand-up paddling inside a mall, but in Meydan One? That is completely possible.

It will have a ski slope like no other

According to the Dubai Media Office, the Meydan One will also have a 1km long indoor ski slope. Think Ski Dubai but bigger. If ever you want to try out a larger slope, but lack the venue to do so, you'll soon have the chance.

The upcoming mall will also have a 260,300 sq ft indoor multi-purpose sports facility. Now you can play cricket or tennis with your buddies on the fanciest side of town. It will also have over 5.3km of cycling and running tracks.
