The world’s largest entertainment and shopping mall is located next to Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world.

That’s not all.

Also a highlight is the 150-foot fountain, illuminated after dark, the most photographed spot in The Dubai Mall.

This 46,000 square meter shopping mall imitates… Venice. And not just from the looks of it – you can travel around the mall in a gondola guided by a gondolier.

Expensive boutiques and plenty of restaurants are not the only things that tempt shoppers and tourists visiting Bangkok. Siam Paragon is also home to an opera house, a giant cinema, and one of the country’s largest aquariums.

One of the oldest malls of its kind in the world, which despite its long history attracts customers and still amazes with its design. West Edmonton is not only a shopping mall. On 570 thousand square meters, there are numerous stores and restaurants and… a water park with artificial waves, an amusement park, a zoo and even an indoor lake. There is also a chapel where brides and grooms can get married.
