True. Dubai needs shoppers in real sense for existing malls and not visitors who go to those malls for week end and window shopping? Bring shoppers back to current malls out of them many are on the verge of closure due no customers and no buyers.

What the UAE needs are more theme parks. Happy Children = Happy parents this would boost the tourism industry 10 fold.

I am happy when my Children are happy (being a parent entertaining children is a hard task!) and i know many a children who would be delighted to have more theme parks. We need more concepts like Alton Towers etc the infulx of these 'super malls' are simply not needed.
