Never enough
Scheduled to open Feb 2005, the
Garden Mall in Dubai is, um, large:
Touted to be one of the largest themed malls in the world and certainly with largest façade of over 1.2 km, the Garden Shopping Mall is being architecturally designed and constructed to resemble the lands visited by the 14th century traveler. The design will provide a unique retail experience through literally allowing shoppers to follow the path taken by Ibn Battuta as he traveled through the lands of Spain and Tunisia, Egypt, Persia, India and China. The architecture of these six regions is to be reflected through the construction of five courts comprising of the Tunisian Court, the Egyptian Court, the Persian Court, the Indian Court and the Chinese Court. The mall will also house the Grand Gardens Megaplex with 21 cinemas and one IMAX Theater.
