🔊 Listen to this Post Developers Dubai Holding have announced their plans to build the ‘Mall of the World’ a new 48 million square foot (4.46 Millionen m²) tourist district in Dubai that will host the world’s largest mall, a new cultural district, a theme park and 20,000 hotel rooms. What’s more, the district’s 7km street network will be covered by a retractable roof during the summer months, creating the world’s first “temperature controlled city”.

Located on Sheikh Zayed Road, the Mall of the World is planned to cater for 180 million annual visitors, with the roof extending Dubai’s normally seasonal tourism industry into the hot summer months. “Our ambitions are higher than having seasonal tourism,” said the UAE’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid. “Tourism is key driver of our economy and we aim to make the UAE an attractive destination all year long. This is why we will start working on providing pleasant temperature-controlled environments during the summer months. We are confident of our economy’s strength, optimistic about our country’s future and we continue to broaden our vision.”

The plans for the Mall of the World include:

• The world’s largest shopping mall, with a total of 8 million square feet (743.000 m²) of floor space
• 100 new hotels and serviced apartments buildings containing 20,000 hotel rooms
• Largest indoor family theme park in the world
• Cultural district including a theatre district modeled on New York’s Broadway, ‘The Celebration Walk’ modeled on Las Ramblas in Barcelona, and shopping streets based on London’s Oxford Street
• Dubai’s largest events centre, accommodating 15,000 people
• A 3 million square foot (279.000 m²) “wellness district” catering to medical tourists
• Temperature-controlled covered retail street network spreading over 7 km
