Stopped out here to visit the Hard Rock Cafe. It is a nice mall with the usual stores and restaurants. It has several unique stores not found in other Dubai Malls like the Hard Rock and Ferrari store. I like the outdoor promenade to stroll and people watch. The water boats with the lighting was a unique item different from... More

Close to Le Meridien Dubai. Even if not one of the biggest, it certainly is big enough and offers everything one would expect to find in a UAE mall.

I like it at the first moment I enter the lounge. The excellent treatment from the staff. At night you may have some drink in a bar which view the bows sailing. Very beautiful. The weather at day is hot, but at night is warm. You will find a passage to a mall just going from within the hotel.

We have visited Festival City several times and it is very pleasant and relatively less chaotic than other Malls in Dubai. There are many stores, restaurants and a large cinema complex. There are a lot of restaurants along the waterfront which is also a great place for an evening stroll.

though all malls in dubai are without a "soul"some have at least a feeling! the festival mall excells in being extremely boring with a standard offer that really merits no mention.The f&b side is clearly a struggle and here the ownrrs ndd help!

Huge shopping centre with bowling and cinemas and lots of restaurants on the waterfront. We went on Friday evening and it was busy right up to midnight. There were boat rides, jazz musicians, acrobats, a great light and water show and fireworks.
