In the 21st century, malls are becoming real "cities"
with vast amusement parks and entertainment for people of all ages.
Here are the top ten elite current and future shopping destinations
in the world.
1. Dubai Mall — Dubai, UAE
Dubai is home to the world's largest shopping and
entertainment centre, appropriately named the "The Dubai
Mall". It's bigger than 50 football fields and houses
1,200 shops, 120 restaurants and a five-star hotel.
There is also a cinema that has the largest screens in Dubai, an
aquarium featuring over 33,000 marine creatures, an ice palace and
the SEGA Republic theme park. Children will be deeply impressed by
the local sweet shop, which is also the world's largest. The
Dubai Mall has now been recognised as the most visited tourist
attraction in the world for several years running. In 2012 alone,
it attracted more tourists than New York City.
