They may be beyond anyone’s imagination, but instantly likeable if you are a shoe pinching shopaholic.

- Ibn Battuta Mall: The shopping part of Ibn Battuta Mall is kind of off-track, but it is well worth a visit for its dramatic architecture inspired by Arab traveler Ibn Battuta.

The most beautiful of them is the Persia Court characterized by the hand-painted dome.
