Good afternoon everyone, today I am going to take on a tour around the most visited places inside Dubai mall. But first let me introduce you to the mall so you have a little more knowledge about it.

It is 12million square ft. which is equivalent to more than 50 football fields. It is 4 floors over 1400 parking spaces in 3 car parks and is part of the 20 billion downtown Dubai complex. In 2012, it attracted 65 million visitors from all over the world which is more visitors than New York City, 52 million, and LA, 41 million. Now, let’s begin with the tour around the main amusement attractions, the aquarium and underwater zoo and the dancing fountain.
