World’s first nature-inspired 2.2 million sq.ft. Cityland Mall set to come up near Global Village in Q2 2018

Key attraction: A ‘Central Park’ in the desert

The expansive, 200,000 sq.ft. open-air garden, labelled ‘Central Park’, will be a breathing testament to nature’s rich biodiversity showcased through unique attractions, such as: mini version of the famed Miracle Garden, a mini water park, 300-year old ancient tree garden, Japanese garden, 360-degree rooftop garden, and a cluster of restaurants and al fresco cafés overlooking its scenic beauty. A 3,000-seat amphitheater and a miniature amphitheater for children will provide a dynamic platform for performing arts throughout the year, and foster a culture of community and learning amongst children in an inspired atmosphere. A walking track along this open-air garden will position Cityland Mall as a one-of-its-kind destination where retail satisfaction seamlessly blends with health and wellness.

Shopping, entertainment and quintessential dining

Cityland Mall’s unique interior will consist of six thematic pavilions; each displaying a distinct global culture and design style that represents the cultural diversity and eclecticism in the UAE – a home to people of various nationalities.
