Dubai, UAE – Amidst the towering progress of the iconic Burj Khalifa, another monumental development is underway in the bustling city of Dubai. The Dubai Mall, hailed as the world’s most visited place, is set to undergo a staggering $408 million expansion, promising to elevate its status as a global shopping and entertainment destination.
The announcement comes hot on the heels of the city’s ambitious ventures, including the recent unveiling of the world’s deepest dive pool, Deep Dive Dubai, and the continuous allure of the world’s largest shopping mall, the Dubai Mall, as reported by Fact Dubai.
The ambitious upgrade of the Dubai Mall will see the addition of 240 luxury outlets, supplementing its current roster of 1,200 retail stores.

With a record-breaking 105 million visitors in the previous year, the Dubai Mall solidified its position as the world’s most visited place, marking a remarkable 19% increase from the preceding year. This expansion initiative seeks to accommodate the growing influx of tourists and residents alike, offering an expanded array of offerings and amenities.
The transformative growth of the Dubai Mall is not unprecedented. Originally opened in 2008, the mall witnessed significant expansions over the years, including the introduction of Dubai Mall Zabeel, which introduced innovative lifestyle and dining concepts. Additionally, the 2019 expansion saw the incorporation of 3,000 additional parking spaces, addressing the evolving needs of its vast patronage.
