With its glistening outdoor pool, palm trees, skylights and space-age architecture, Dubai's Ibn Battuta Mall calls you to explore it. Once inside, enjoy beautiful colors in the finely made wall art, Far-eastern archways to stores and restaurants, patterned columns and floors, dome-shaped geometric ceilings, the giant elephant clock, and more. Named for popular explorer Ibn Battuta, the mall is divided into six geographically-themed courts: Andalusia, Egypt, Tunisia, Persia, China and India. At Ibn Battuta, you can shop at every major chain, ride the shuttle service, try out the various Middle Eastern and Asian foods, exercise in the fitness center and even go on a hot air balloon.
