Ibn Battuta Success

This April saw Ibn Battuta Mall celebrate its first birthday, and the
region’s most distinctive mall has been a huge success, 100% let, with
more than 250 retail outlets, and millions of visitors through the doors.
The mall is conveniently located a short walk from Discovery Gardens,
and few residential developments will be able to boast such an excellent
array of retail facilities on their doorstep.


In addition to introducing more than 50 new brands to the UAE,
including the first Géant supermarket, residents can enjoy the Middle
East’s largest cinema complex, the 21 screen Grand Megaplex, featuring
an IMAX ® theatre, the city’s first Fitness First gym, a fully themed
children's play zone, and more than 30 restaurants and food outlets.
All this is combined with the mall's spectacular interiors charting the
travels of the legendary 14th Century explorer Ibn Battuta, and the
1000 Years of Knowledge Rediscovered Exhibition, a celebration of
1000 years of Islamic inventions. Ibn Battuta's opening hours are 1000
– 2200, extending to midnight from Wednesday to Friday.
