 "The Dubai Mall, the flagship property of Emaar Malls Group, will be 
			finally open to public on October 30, 2008.
 
 The opening date of the mall coincides with an extended retail 
			season in the region marked by the UAE National Day, Eid Al Adha, 
			New Year and the Dubai Shopping Festival.
 
 On October 30, all public areas of The Dubai Mall will be open to 
			customers at the same time, creating a retail event unlike anything 
			ever seen in the region. The Dubai Aquarium and Discovery Centre, 
			the Olympic-sized Dubai Ice Rink, the world's largest indoor Gold 
			Souk and hundreds of retailers will open simultaneously giving 
			visitors several retail and leisure options,” said Mohamed Ali 
			Alabbar, Chairman, Emaar Properties.
 
 The Dubai Mall is expecting some 30 million customers in the very 
			first year of trade, and to support this the mall will have over 
			14,000 car park spaces and a dedicated bridge from Sheikh Zayed Road 
			for direct access to the mall.
 
 The Dubai Mall is a 12 million sq ft shopper's paradise and is an 
			integral part of the Downtown Burj Dubai development. With a total 
			internal floor area of 5.9 million sq ft, the Dubai Mall will have 
			3.77 million sq ft of gross leasable space with more than 1,200 
			retail outlets, two anchor department stores and more than 120 food 
			and beverage outlets". (Fonte: DTCM)
