Shopping in Dubai just got a little simpler. Dubai Holding Asset Management (DHAM) has brought more than 40 malls, lifestyle spots, and community centres together under a single name: Dubai Retail.
The move follows the integration of Nakheel and Meydan into Dubai Holding. By uniting their retail destinations, the company says it can offer a smoother, stronger, and more exciting shopping and lifestyle experience for residents and visitors alike.
What’s Included Under Dubai Retail?
Dubai Retail now covers 10 major malls, 15 lifestyle destinations, and 18 retail centres spread across the city. Together, that’s 6,500 shops and more than 13 million square feet of space.
Some of the best-known malls in the group include:
- Palm Jumeirah Mall (formerly Nakheel Mall)
- Ibn Battuta Mall
- The Outlet Village
- Circle Mall
- Dragon Mart
- Nad Al Sheba Mall
- Golden Mile Galleria
- Bay Avenue & Bay Square
- Al Khail Avenue (opening soon)
Not Just Malls, Lifestyle Hotspots Too
Beyond malls, Dubai Retail also brings together many of the city’s favourite leisure and dining destinations:
- Bluewaters
- JBR and Palm West Beach
- Vista Mare
- Souk Al Seef & Souk Madinat Jumeirah
- Al Khawaneej Walk & Boxpark
- Last Exit food truck parks
- Dubai Islands Beach
On top of that, 18 neighbourhood retail centres, such as Jumeirah Park Centre, Al Furjan Centre, Discovery Gardens Centre, and Mudon Centre, make it easy for communities to shop close to home.
What This Means for Shoppers
- More choice under one brand – whether you’re hitting a mega mall or grabbing groceries at a community centre, it’s all now part of Dubai Retail.
- New developments – Al Khail Avenue is on the way, adding another 1.2 million square feet of shops and dining.
- Upgraded experiences – Palm Jumeirah Mall has already been refreshed with new sections and attractions.
A Growing Role in Dubai’s Future
According to DHAM leaders, Dubai Retail is more than just a rebrand. It’s about keeping pace with Dubai’s rapid growth, booming tourism, and rising demand for lifestyle destinations that combine shopping, dining, leisure, and culture.
From Palm Jumeirah to Bluewaters to your local neighbourhood mall, Dubai Retail now unites the city’s most popular shopping and lifestyle destinations under one umbrella, making it easier than ever to enjoy everything Dubai has to offer.
