The Dubai Mall Downtown Dubai in the United Arab Emirates is one of the largest shopping centers in the world with 350,000 square meters.

The Dubai Mall is located south of the well-known Sheik Zayed Road opened on November 4, 2008 with an initial 600 stores and when completed will house 1200 stores, attracting 37 million visitors per year.

The mall also has 120 food and beverage outlets, the world's largest gold souk with 220 stores, an Olympic-size ice rink, a music-controlled fountain, a 24-meter-high water cascade, a fashion show hall, a 22-screen multiplex movie theater, a computer game presentation center, and a supervised children's adventure land.

Another attraction of the Dubai Mall is the aquarium, which extends over three floors. The largest tank has a footprint of 51 × 20 meters and is 11 meters high. The largest tank, made of 75-centimeter-thick acrylic glass, contains 33,000 sea animals and fish, including sharks of several species, perches, rays and other reef dwellers, in 10,000 cubic meters of seawater taken from the Persian Gulf. Crocodiles, giant crabs but also seals and penguins are in other smaller basins. A two-meter-high narrow pedestrian tunnel runs through the lower tank, with walls only 19 centimeters thick, which serves to reproduce the natural size of the animals. Since no natural light enters the pool, it has a lighting system with control room for day and night simulation; also automatic feeders and water-saving water circulation and purification technology; the water is kept germ-free with ozone. The Dubai Aquarium and Discovery Center received the Guinness World Record for the largest acrylic screen, as well as for the largest shopping mall aquarium.

The Dubai Mall, planned by Emaar Properties, is part of the Downtown Dubai project. There is a direct pedestrian connection to the world's tallest skyscraper, Burj Khalifa, from the Dubai Mall, which also provides access to the Burj Khalifa observation deck.
