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.

The Dubai Frame is an architectural marvel, a giant frame standing 150 meters tall and 93 meters wide. Located in Zabeel Park, it symbolizes a window between Dubai's past and future.

On one side stretches old Dubai with its historic districts and souks, while on the other lies the modern metropolis with its skyscrapers and innovative projects. Walking across the transparent floor, I felt a slight dizziness, but the view was worth it.
