Some shopping malls in Dubai will operate from 10am to 10pm from May 27 when the emirate reopens most business activities, as per the Supreme Committee of Crisis and Disaster Management's decision on Monday.
According to sources, not all shopping malls in Dubai will extend timings and that the decision will be taken by the management of each mall. Even community malls will decide their own extended opening hours.
"It depends on the management of each mall. But some malls have said that they will extend the timings till 10pm from Wednesday."
