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 location map.

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.

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.

Shops and brands include Adidas, Aizone, Al Hama, Al Tayer Group, Aldo, Allied Enterprises, Azadea Group, Azarro, Bally, Boutique One, Calvin Klein, Diesel, Esprit, Evisu, Grand Stores, Guess, Kenneth Cole, MAF Fashion, Mango, Massimo Dutti, Magrabi Optical, Mango, Massimo Dutti, Max Mara, Mexx, Nike, Nine West, Paris Gallery, Puma, Reebok, Rodeo Drive, Salam Studio & Stores, Tchibo, Ted Lapidus, Tommy Hilfiger, Villeroy and Boch.

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, 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.

There's a Chuck E Cheese family entertainment spot with bowling and an ice-rink for when you get bored with the shopping bargains.

If you're looking for bread and milk bargains, you won't have much luck at Dubai Outlet Mall. There's no supermarket there.
