Wafi City Mall

While often overlooked in favor of the newer Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates, Wafi City Mall is one of the most architecturally interesting (and least crowded) of Dubai’s shopping centers. The exterior of the Egyptian-themed mall borders on kitschy, but once inside, visitors find 350 shops and more than 30 restaurants, many of them international luxury brands. 
A highlight of a visit to Wafi City Mall is the Souq Khan Murjan, a modern recreation of a traditional fourteenth century bazaar where 150 additional vendors sell arts and crafts from across the Arab region. 
Within the mall, families can play 18 holes of glow-in-the-dark mini golf at Tee and Putt and kids can run off some energy at Kids Connection, a large indoor play center and arcade. Each evening, the mall hosts a free light and sound show in its central courtyard.
