Galleria Mall

Dubai


The modern-Middle Eastern design of this locally adored boutique mall is as much a draw as the shops, which include rare gems like the first UAE branch of Saudi homeware store Cities, and Blossom and Bloom, selling raw organic honey from around the world. Wrap up a visit with a healthy lunch at South African cafe Tashas or gooey cakes from Emirati-owned Home Bakery.
