About Dubai Outlet Mall
Dubai Outlet Mall (DOM) is one of many Dubai shopping malls, 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 (Dragonmart) in 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 'Half-Price Mondays'
- Dubai Outlet Mall starts a new shopping promotion from 02 August 2010 - on Mondays, retailers will display outside their stores stock that is discounted more than 50% from the original price (press release 08 August 2010). Same press release said "Dubai Outlet Mall hosts more than 800 famous international and regional brands for fashion, accessories, shoes, jewellery, electronics, homewares, furniture and much more." Which clarifies some previous overly optimistic reports that DOM had 800 shops rather than brands.
- Update January 2012: Dubai Outlet Mall has 1200 brands in 240 stores.

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). 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 factory surplus. 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 ("800 stores currently operate out of Dubai Outlet Mall,"), which is more than three times what DOM opened with despite no expansion work carried out yet, and more than almost any other shopping center in Dubai (except for The Dubai Mall). Perhaps they misread the DOM press releases which said 800 brands, not shops, are available at the shopping centre. 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.
Update: As of May 2010, there doesn't seem to be any expansion work in progress, and within the existing shopping mall, there are still a number of retail spaces unused and boarded up. Which might indicate that retail areas are still available for lease or rent in the current building?
