A DAY AT THE MALL
POSTED BY ENGLISHBOYINDUBAI
SATURDAY 20 APRIL
If you want to go somewhere
amazing, try the Dubai Mall. We
went there today and I've never
seen anything like it. More than
50 million people visit the mall
every year and it's got about 1,200
shops, 22 cinema screens and 120
cafés and restaurants. I wasn't
interested in the shops (I think
shopping is awful - so boring!) but
there's something for everyone at
the Dubai Mall!
We spent a long time watching
the fish in the wonderful
Underwater Zoo. There are more
than 33,000 fish there-even
sharks! And I also loved skating
on the Olympic-size ice rink.
Outside in the sun it was boiling,
but inside on the rink I wore a
sweater because it's absolutely
freezing. The temperature of the
ice is below zero! After the ice rink,
we had a great time at the mall's
theme park, the Sega Republic.
It's brilliant - it's got 150 games
and rides.
In the evening we stayed to watch
the Dancing Fountain and no
one should miss this. It's a really
amazing light show outside on the
lake. That's something I'll never
forget
