About Dubai Outlet Mall (12 December 2007)
Dubai Outlet Mall (DOM) is one of many Dubai shopping centers, part of Dubai Outlet City (DOC) which is in Dubailand (Dubai Land). At the time of opening of Dubai Outlet Mall in August 2007, the rest of Dubai Outlet City and Dubailand was mostly just sand. That will change as development progresses. Dubai Outlet Mall location is on the Dubai-Al Ain Road, or Route 66 (yes, really) near the Al Ruwayya interchange with the Dubai Bypass Road. See DOM location map. The mall itself looks a tad more sophisticated than a warehouse but not quite as stylish as something like Mall of the Emirates or Ibn Battuta Mall. DOM is, however, a step up from Dragon Mart near International City.
Dubai Outlet Mall is a one stop shopping centre consisting of a collection of factory shops with bargains galore from surplus stock etc. At least, that's what DOM says. They're right enough. If you're happy to buy last season's gear, you'll pick stuff up at cheap prices, especially general items like household goods, children's toys and clothes, t-shirts, casual clothing. The ladies' and some of the men's fashion is not so appealing - it's all the junk that the main branches can't sell.
Dubai Outlet Mall shops
Shops and brands include Adidas, Aizone, Al Hama, Al Tayer Group, Aldo, Allied Enterprises, Anne Valerie Hash, Aquascutum, Azadea Group, Azarro, Bally, Boutique One, Calvin Klein, Christopher Kane, Diesel, Dries Van Noten, Elie Tahari, Esprit, Evisu, Grand Stores, Guess, Issey Miyake, Jil Sander, Kenneth Cole, MAF Fashion, Mango, Marni, Massimo Dutti, Magrabi Optical, Mango, Massimo Dutti, Max Mara, Mexx, Nike, Nina Ricci, Nine West, Paris Gallery, Puma, Reebok, Rodeo Drive, Salam Studio & Stores, Tchibo, Ted Lapidus, Thakoon, Tommy Hilfiger, Villeroy and Boch.
Dubai Outlet Mall food and entertainment
There's a Chuck E Cheese family entertainment spot with bowling and an ice-rink for when you get bored with the shopping bargains. For food there's the usual selection in the Food Court area (open November 2007) including Automatic Restaurant, Burger King, Cosi, Hatam, KFC, McDonalds, Skyler’s, Starbucks, Stone Fire Pizza. Scattered around the mall are a couple of other cafes including the Aran Cafe (December 2008 - closed?), French Bakery and Il Caffe de Roma. Reassuringly, the food is fresh, not last year's supplies. The bad news is that food prices are not discounted. If you're looking for bread and milk bargains, you won't have much luck at Dubai Outlet Mall, there's no supermarket there.

Dubai Outlet Mall expansion
The National reported on 16 April 2009 that Dubai Outlet Mall might expand to twice its current size, to satisfy demand from retailers who missed out on securing shop space in Dubai Outlet Mall when it first opened. Apparently there are already 800 shops according to the report, which is more than three times what it opened with despite no expansion work carried out yet, and more than almost any other shopping center in Dubai (except for The Dubai Mall): "800 stores currently operate out of Dubai Outlet Mall," said the report. Other information and numbers (who knows how correct they are though) in the same report were:
- 12,000-15,000 visitors daily during the week, 20,000-25,000 visitors per day at weekends
- Retailers sign and agreement that they will offer goods at prices at least 30% below normal retail.
- Vishal Mahajan is still the mall director.
