Mercato Shopping Mall

Travelers finding themselves in need of some retail therapy while in the Jumeirah Beach Road area will find the strip’s most luxurious shopping complex in the Mercato Shopping Mall. Fashioned in the style of an Italian village, the mall is relatively small for Dubai standards — it only houses 140 shops in 643,067 square feet (59,743 square meters) — but it wins points for its ambience. 
At the heart of the two-floor shopping complex, which also houses a Spinneys supermarket, VOX Cinemas, Virgin Megastore and Fun City family entertainment center, is the Piazza Grande, an indoor “square” lined with cafes and European restaurants. Since it doesn’t get as crowded as some of Dubai’s bigger malls, it’s a great place to escape the heat during the afternoons.

Practical Info

The best way to get to Mercato Shopping Mall is to take the Dubai Metro Red Line to The Financial Centre Station, then take a 5-minute cab ride from there.
