This review is about the City Walk central shopping and dining plaza and not the adjacent road with the apartment buildings. City Walk is a lively and vibrant space with several shopping and food options. Retail outlets are mostly luxury brands (but not super luxury such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton etc..). There is a good mix of food options from various cuisines. McDonalds opened recently and is very busy. Overall, and in addition to the shopping and dining options, City Walk provides for a great walk around for the family particular in the round atrium with a fountain in the middle and various shows are held. Hub Zero is also a good option for children, but it is mostly VR so mostly suited beyond toddler age. City Walk has fantastic views of Burj Khalifa and is a fantastic alternative to shopping malls in the winter time.

I've never loved City Walk and Dubai more than I did this day when i went here with my husband and children for iftar.❤😍
Due to the covid situation and the precautions we all are taking, we had not taken our children anywhere. But for a special day, our family went to citywalk and it was my best decision. The children could be themselves with social distancing, enjoy the train, and the Ramadan spirit. Since we like traditional Asian food, we decided to have iftar at Farzi Cafe. Really liked the affordable option of sharing menu of 4 course which was enough for my family. It had delicious taste, commendable service, exceptional food experience and proper SOPS followed. It was the BEST quality of food at any iftar I've had. My little one was fascinated by the "real smoke"coming from the plate and were in awe!! Their gastronomic experience will leave your children surprised and delighted! No wastage of taking excess food as well The masjid nearby the cafe added to the comfort as we could go offer our Salah on time after having the starters, and then return back to have the maincourse and dessert without having to miss our Salah. Love this part of citywalk and the cooperation of Farzi Cafe manager Mr Anish who was so accomodating. I had a wonderful time with my family and i will surely visit here again as this open space was loved by my children.

Lots of nice shopping areas , plus nice restaurants , and a very nice movie complex to watch movies. Be aware of parking rules and regulations. The first three hours are free of charge but if one minute is exceeded you will end up paying 20 Dirhums for every hour thereafter.
I recommend it but be careful of the parking rules.

City Walk offers both an indoor and outdoor mall, with parts of the air outside cooled. It is a short distance from the Dubai Mall metro station and offers great views back to Downtown Dubai.
There is a good selection of retail as well as lots of excellent food and beverage options, including licensed venues and lots with outdoor seating available. There are pop ups throughout the year.
There is also a very good Roxy Cinema and entertainment options for those with kids. Plenty of parking is available.
A lovely mall.

City Walk comes into its own in winter, with a great indoor-outdoor offering a short distance from downtown.
There are lots of new recently added food and beverage offerings, a number of which are licensed, so it is well worth making the trip.
There is also an excellent roxy cinema and a number of decent retail outlets.

If you are a type of person that enjoys walking, well you are lucky you found this review ! Dubai City Walk is definitely one of my top places in Dubai , it is actually a very unique shaped concept which makes you feel like you are in the future ! I do not know if i should talk about the amazing luxury shops or about the wide selection of restaurants and cafes!
As known that Dubai is a city full of traffic, so they offer large parking spaces. The most coolest thing about Dubai City Walk in summer that the outdoor is cooled, you will stay cooled during summer high temperatures and enjoy your time ! It is crazy isn’t it ? In addition to the variety of arcade games in there for all ages.
In my humble opinion, It is totally a place that is worth to go at any time of the year ,you will have the perfect walking experience whether it is with your friends or family .However, it is a pretty small place, but if you got bored you can sit on the beach close to it and relax.
All in all, if you are looking for a perfect walk and you are sick of going to the same places ,well here is your chance , you better not miss this awesome this chance of visiting Dubai City Walk!

A truly exceptional Iftar experience with loved ones at Beit El Kell. A Lebanese restaurant in City Walk offering a beautiful outdoor seating and welcoming atmosphere.
Here are my thoughts on the various dishes:
The soup served was comforting, well-balanced and not too heavy, making it a perfect starter for the meal.
The cold mezzah spread was pretty extensive. A fresh and flavourful array of appetizers. The fattoush, assorted dips and stuffed vine leaves are a must try. The crispy baked mini fatayer complemented the mezze perfectly.
The kebabs and grills were cooked to perfection, with juicy and tender meat that was seasoned well.
The Arabic sweets were both decadent and delicious. The baklava was the the perfect end to the meal.
I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic Lebanese experience.

There are quite good and comfy hotels at shaikh zayed road. You can stay there at grand Sheraton, nassima royal, donatello etc. Sheikh zayed gives you an easy access to malls as well like dubai mall, emirates mall keeping them in the nearby viccinity. You cam go to desert safari, cruise dinner at dubai marina or for baby go to lego land or motion gate she ll enjoy. Rest you can find in malls like underwater aquarium in dubai mall, ski dubai in mall of emirates etc for baby. Have a great vacations.

I would like to post the update about photos. I complained about both Citywalk and La Mer directly to Meeras. The response that I got was we reserve the right to require a permit from people with proffessional looking cameras. They have not responded to my complaint about La Mer and not breaking any posted rules there. So by this right no one should take a camera as a modern phone has the capability to take proffesional photos. Tripod I understand to a degree. Enthusiasists like myself are not pros. but photos in general at there properties. Even with the tripod it should be posted somewhere.

There is taxis area for pickup and drop off at the City Walk. However, they usually have someone like a security man who's responsible about organizing the taxis so you may ask if you need any further help.

Can I walk to Citywalk from Shangri-la hotel

In summer you might consider the sun and heat, and I prefer you go there at night. It'll take almost 20 minutes from Shangri-la hotel to City Walk on foot.
