Following the festival we went to the Dubai Mall.This mall is the largest shopping mall in the world. It has international restaurants, stores, supermarkets, along with traditional souks, and an aquarium. The first time we went, we were in that mall for 5 hours and still didn’t see everything! The mall is also connected to the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world.

Yesterday we walked around a bit and then had dinner at Macaroni Grill.

We’re taking her inside of the aquarium next time. She was so fascinated with the outside view it’s impossible for us to deny her the full experience.

*Below is a picture from our first visit to Dubai Mall in October 2010. I’m standing in front of the mall’s directory. The mall has grown since then.
