Video: Dubai announces plans for Mall of the World

The world’s first temperature-controlled city, Mall of the World, located along Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai will occupy a total area of 48 million square feet and will comprise the largest indoor theme park in the world, which will be covered by a glass dome that will be open during the winter months. The project will also house the largest shopping mall in the world with an area of 8 million square feet, which will take the form of an extended retail street network, different to the typical shopping mall concept currently available in Dubai. Once completed, the City is projected to become a year-round destination, welcoming around 180 million visitors annually.
