For Dubai residents, malls are much more than shopping destinations. They are entertainment centres, grocery stores, play areas for children, walking tracks, tourist destinations and food courts.

Malls in Dubai feature everything from an indoor ski resort to a cat café, a virtual reality park, indoor skydiving, an ice lounge and a tropical rainforest.

A guidebook put together by Brand Dubai details the unique indoor experiences residents and tourists can opt for at malls. The guide is part of the #DubaiDestinations initiative, which encourages the community to experience Dubai in the summer.
