Wafi Mall is a part of large still developed complex Wafi City, which resembles the ancient Egyptian temples with pyramides. Inside of the large one there is a new Raffles hotel, and the smaller, transparent one covers part of the mall.
A slightly expensive shop in Wafi City
The shopping area is smaller than the bigest malls in Dubai, but this is only the advantage here, because looking at all these shops is not as tiring as in the ‘supermalls’.
Still there is more than plenty to see, and only the luxury of the highest level. Many of the shops have impressive facades like Versace, Chanel or Nicole Farhi, other have the ‘eye-dropping’ windows like Svarowsky or Tiffany & Co.
The ladies will be busy in boutiques mentioned above, and other brands including Gianfranco Ferre and Aigner, men would give a short look at Calvin Klein, Pierre Cardin or Cerruti and children would have their clothes bought at Oilily.
There are several unique to Wafi shops, including Comtesse with Meissen porcelain and Scarabee with hand-made silverware.
Wafi Gourment sells the exotic igedients of Lebanese and Arab cuisines, and the restaurant prepares traditional dishes, which can also be taken away.
The floor above the mall hosts the children fun park Encounter Zone with virtual and active games for all ages.
The Wafi Mall is connected with another brand-new mall offering traditional Arab products – Khan Murjan Souq.
