Take a trip around the world while staying within the confines of the Ibn Battuta Mall, in an experience likened to that of the traveller whom the mall is named after. From Andalusia to China, retrace the steps of Ibn Battuta in this beautiful mall with its themed courts.
Andalusia
The Spanish charm is alive and well in this section of the mall, which makes you feel like you’re on a Spanish vacation while on your Dubai vacation. The Moorish architecture that is prominent in Andalusia is very apparent in this court, including a large fountain inspired by the Fountain of Lions in the Alhambra Palace in Granada and the replica of the Giralda Tower.
Persia Court
The legends of Persia, present-day Iran, are vast and rich in their depth, and Ibn Battuta’s Persian section represents this perfectly. An area fully dedicated to the masterful patterns and tiles of Persian influence, as well as intricately crafted Persian rugs, is a grand homage to the land.
Egypt Court
The statues of pharaohs and Egyptian gods at this court bring the miracles of ancient Egypt to life. From trying to read hieroglyphics to posing like royalty, it’s a fun and interactive journey into history. If you’re staying at one of the hotels near Ibn Battuta Mall, at a property like Avani Ibn Battuta Dubai Hotel, then you must visit this court.
China Court
The China Court showcases traditional Chinese architecture with vibrant red hues, intricate designs, and ornate décor that reflect the elegance of Chinese culture. Visitors can shop for cultural items, enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine, and experience live displays or performances that celebrate Chinese art, music, and traditions.
