Thought I’d drop by with some more mall pictures. In the summer heat they are the only decent places you can go to. And unlike Singapore, they are fewer and far between… But with heat on the decline, there’s something to look forward to seeing, perhaps in another couple of months! Until then, its more of the same malls!
China Court, one of the 6 “malls” within the huge Ibn Battuta Mall.
Mercato Mall, very nice looking, but not huge as the others.
And then there’s “the burj”, already the tallest building in the world. Although driving past it, you don’t quite get the scale of its size. In the foreground is another icon of developing Dubai, upcoming train system. One one hand, the Burj stays away from most of Dubai’s normal life, the rail system looks like it’s bugging a large percentage of the population. Running right through most of the busy places, it is causing endless road diversions, blocks and delays. Worse still, there is no confirmed date yet for its completion…

MK, not to worry… the “insides” of malls, apartments etc all look great! but u shud see the outsides! firstly the dust, secondly, its not humane to be outside in the heat for more than 2-5 minutes! hence, u keep switching between the images u see I posted here, and the other extreme, dusty, barren outside scene!
Shruti, its not actually a mall within a mall, its more like 6 small malls make up what they call Ibn Battuta mall, thats all
As for dev w/o completion date… haha
