Khan Murjan- (Khan Murjan photos) underground souk, part of the
Wafi Center complex, was due to open by end 2007 but delayed till
early 2008. Based on a 14th century Suq / Souq - the Khan Marjan
Caravanserai in Baghdad, Iraq (renovated as a restaurant in the
early 1990s, unknown what state it's in now), and with further
inspiration taken from other souks around the Middle East. Consider
it more of a tourist attraction than a full-on shopping center, a
bit like Souk Madinat or Souk Al Bahar, while the Wafi Mall should
satiate your purchasing desires. Well worth a visit though.
Lamcy Plaza- large pink building on Sheikh Zayed Road near the
Karama exit and opposite the American Hospital / Al Nasr

floor location of the supermarket seems odd. High atrium has a

evenings. Operated by Lals Group.

many other large shopping malls already open in Dubai. With about
1400 retail outlets to distract visitors, MOA will be the entry
point for the Restless Planet dinosaur park. And if your bags are
too heavy to carry home, there will be a hotel on the roof where

Souk Madinat- next to theBurj Al Arabin Al Sufouh / Umm Suqueim.

center but worth a visit for the traditional styled architecture
and pleasant atmosphere along the (man-made) canals.
Souk Al Bahar- at the foot of theBurj Dubaiin the Downtown Dubai
development. Opened December 2007. Similar to Souk Madinat with
many of the same restaurants. Also a pleasant place to stroll

the UAE, developed by the Lootah Group. First one opening in Ewan
Residences area of Dubai October 2009

Jumeira 3. About 100 shops and restaurants with seaviews. The
Sunset Mall developer, Dubai Investment Properties, is marketing it
as a luxury shopping destination (which almost everywhere in Dubai
does - even the Luxury Chicken Gutting and Hair Cutting Saloon in
the depths of Deira) but in this case, given the location on the
beach in Jumeirah, it might be a believable claim. Might be open in

marina promenade to walk along. Area about 135,000 sq m (not clear
if that is retail area or total development area). Completion date
supposedly by mid to end of 2013 (but Nakheel scheduled completion
dates are often overly optimistic by a year or two).

Emirates (on the same side). Opened May 2007. Small shopping mall

Friday afternoons/evenings. The complex also includes a spa,
health, beauty, and sports club, accommodation, a couple of fine
restaurants and bars (Wafi Rooftop is a good place to hang out),
