The Dubai Mall:

Imagine a shopping mall that covers a staggering 12 million square feet of land, for many people in the world it will be a far-fetched idea. However, for a city like Dubai it is kind of regular news now. Dubai mall was inaugurated in the end of 2008, covering 12 million square feet of land in total and having space for 1200 shops, this mall is the world's biggest shopping mall (in terms of land it covers). Situated right in the neighborhood of world's tallest tower (which is not yet completed), Burj Dubai. Main attractions are the Gold market (Gold Souk) with 220 jewelry shops, a huge aquarium that has made its way into the Guinness book of world records and an underwater zoo, Sega republic, a splendid ice rink and The famous Dubai fountain. Visitors will also find a huge luxury hotel within this mall, as well as Dubai's biggest Cineplex.

Golden Resources Mall:

People's Republic of China has got some of the biggest shopping malls in the world, and why not? China as a region has the largest population in the world. Unfortunately though, the biggest super markets (Golden Resources Mall & ...
... South China Mall) are nowhere near to be called successful, as the number of occupied shops and the shoppers is extremely low, mainly because of the location. Golden Resources Mall has got shops in excess of 1000, though most of them are still vacant. Irrespective of its success business wise, Golden Resources is still the world's second largest shopping mall.

West Edmonton Mall:

Moving from Asia to the North America (and skipping two or three other biggies in the Asian region), we have West Edmonton Mall of Canada on our list of biggest shopping malls, which offers a combination of shopping extravaganza and recreational facilities. It was accredited as the world's largest mall for many years until some developing Asian countries came up with one massive super market after another, now it ranks on no 5th in the list. However, if we compare these malls in terms of visitors, West Edmonton Mall will probably rank above other contenders. In addition to 800 shopping stores, there is a huge amusement park known as Galaxyland, world's largest waterpark, Luxurious Hotel, Recreation center, huge ice rink, and many other tourist attractions.

SM Mall of Asia:

The Fourth largest shopping mall of the world, SM mall covers 407,000 square meters and is described as a tourist destination instead of just being a super market. The entertainment section offers a whole range of cinemas and movie theaters including one of the world's biggest IMEX screens, skating rink, huge bowling Alley, music hall and a very unique Science discovery center. Philippine's largest convention center is also a part of SM Mall of Asia with a capacity of 6000 people. Almost all famous brands have got an outlet in the Mall; shoppers can find fashion garments, home and furnishing products, jewelry shops, Art, hypermarkets, Travel and financial services. Many world class events were also hosted at this place in the past three years.
