Dubai Malls
The Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Mall are two of the most iconic builds within the region.
Taking two years to build, the malls comprise of over a hundred shops, restaurants and entertainment venues. Dubai Mall has also included an aquarium and zoo, ice rink and ski-slope for visitors to enjoy.
Currently home to the largest double-glazed skylight worldwide, the The Mall of the Emirates is now to be extended by Interserve in a new project, strengthening the region’s infrastructure and transport links.

Similar to the Dubai Mall, tourists and locals can enjoy the implemented ski slope, which was complex to construct, but steel supports have been utilised to ensure safety and sustainability.
