Ibn Battuta Mall

The Ibn Battuta mall isn’t the most well known shopping mall of Dubai. This is mostly due to it’s location as it’s not close to city center, but closer to the Palm Islands and in the general direction of Abu Dhabi. But it’s quite large and has quite an interesting twist to it. Ibn Battuta was one of the greatest travelers in history who went from Morocco all the way to China, so Dubai named this mall after him and themed the mall after his journies. The mall is split up in six courts. It has court themed after China, a court themed after India, Persia, Egypt, Tunisia and one themed after Andalusia. You can recognize the design of each region in all your surroundings. Now you can travel the world with him and collect your own souvenirs in your journey. The stores tend to be more well rounded than in the other malls and it offers plenty of restaurants. So it’s worth a visit if you are close to the Palm Islands.
