This is the first mall to feature a Crystal Lagoon water park, a 1 km ski-slope, a dancing fountain that is 380-meter long, and the region’s first indoor 4,000 square-meter electric go-karting track. That’s not it!

The highlight of this architectural giant however, is the region’s first indoor electric go-karting track which will be brought to Dubai in partnership with E-Karting.
The mall shall also have a huge multipurpose plaza with a capacity of 30,000 people. This space will be used to host a diverse range of entertainment activities for the visitors.
The Mega Mall is set to open doors to the public by the second half of 2020.
