The Ibn Battuta Shopping Mall is located just off the Sheikh Zayed Road past Dubai Marina heading to Abu Dhabi. It is named after the 14th Century explorer Ibn Battuta who spent 29 years travelling through the Middle East and Asia, the mall is divided into six courts each based on the areas he visited on his travels: China, India, Egypt, Tunisia, Persia and Andalusia.

Each Court is decorated to resemble each of these areas of the world and it certainly makes for an interesting walk around with many beautifully decorated ceilings, sculptures, boats and mini displays.

The shopping in the mall has a good mixture of well known brand names and individual retailers, which might mean you will find some things you can´t in any of the other malls. The China court houses a 21 screen cinema including UAE´s very first IMAX theatre. The major food court can be found in Tunisia Court, however there are a couple of restaurants in China Court and many other pit stops dotted around the rest of the mall.
