Mall of Arabia was a planned shopping mall; that would have been a part of the City of Arabia in the Dubailand theme park premises in Dubai. Original announcements said it would be completed in 2008.[1] Following the collapse of the Dubai real-estate market, the mall's opening has been delayed.[2] In 2016, in favor of IMG Worlds of Adventure's opening date, it was announced that the mall will be revived within 10 years.[3] According to the developers the 10 million square-foot mall would contain more than 1,000 retail outlets, a rooftop hotel, waterfront dining and entertainment, a theme park, an earth science museum, and a planetarium.[4] It would also contain its own monorail system linked with the Dubai Metro along with a two-story underground parking garage capable of holding 10,400 vehicles.[4]
