|Dubai mall undergoes expansion
The expansion will include an addition of 10,500 square metres of space for retailers and service providers, and those staying in a Dubai hotel will be connected to the mall through a new direct metro link.
Fuad Mansoor Sharaf, Mall of the Emirates vice president, said: "This major investment for the UAE's favourite shopping destination is imperative in order to meet the increasing demand from newer retailers, who seek a presence in the mall.
"Since we opened in 2005, we have broken many records, some of which were only meant to be achieved much later.
"With a footfall averaging over 2.4m a month, it is no surprise that more and more retailers want to be a part of Mall of the Emirates."
The expansion programme is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2010.
