”The Dubai Mall is the region’s premier shopping, lifestyle and entertainment destination. With more than 1,200 stores and a host of world-class attractions.”

This is my own world-class attraction.

The tallest tower from afar.

Burj Khalifa at night.

The dancing fountain, my mom’s instant favorite.

”Set on the 30-acre Burj Khalifa Lake, the fountain shoots water jets as high as 500 ft (150 metres), equivalent to that of a 50-storey building.”

”The beam of light shining upward from the fountain can be seen from over 20 miles away, and will be visible from space making it the brightest spot in the Middle East, and quite possibly in the entire world.”

Meeting my aunt Pauline for the very first time.

My brother shop-lifting.

”Dubai Aquarium, one of the largest tanks in the world, with the capacity to hold 10 million litres of water, illuminates the marvels of the ocean floor and showcase one of the most diverse collections of marine life worldwide.”

”The Waterfall runs through the entire height of the mall, traversing all four levels, and is adorned with art sculptures of human divers made of fiberglass to create a dynamic visual spectrum that complements the rhythmic flow of water.”
