It promises an out-of-the-box shopping experience where there is something for the entire family.

At the central stage at MOTB, there will be hourly live entertainment and fitness activities. What is more, you can even participate in some competitions. There will be a Dance Battle on January 13 -14 where participants can show off their best moves while the Rap Olympics on January 11 will see rappers go head-to-head in an ultimate hip-hop battle.
With food trucks and restaurant pop-ups galore, there is a wide variety of dishes to choose from. From boba and Vietnamese cuisine to kebabs and burgers, there are plenty of dining options for the family at this year’s MOTB.
With plenty of seating areas in the open air and lots of places for kids to run around, family day out got a whole lot better with the MOTB. Running until January 14, it is a perfect place to grab a bite, relax with friends and connect with the family.
With splashes of colours on walls, tulle roofs and bright lights, there are plenty of selfie spots at the MOTB. Whether you want to capture a memory or a shot for the ‘gram, you will find the perfect spot here.
If you are a video game buff, then there is an e-sports area just for you. Priced at Dh50 per half hour- or Dh75 for a fast track entry- settle into the provided bean bags and enjoy your favorite games.
