Which shopping malls are worth visiting in Dubai?

If you think shopping malls are just places to shop, Dubai is ready to change your mind. Dubai Mall is not just shopping, it's a whole world under the roof. Imagine a place where you can start the day by watching underwater wonders in a huge aquarium, then go ice skating on an ice rink in the middle of the desert, and in the evening watch a movie in a luxury cinema. I remember getting lost among more than a thousand shops, unexpectedly coming across a waterfall with figures of drivers, as if floating in the air. The Mall of the Emirates offers an even more surreal experience: inside it is Ski Dubai, a real ski resort with penguins and snow slides. Going down on skis, knowing that the scorching sun and sand are outside the walls, is an indescribable feeling.
