Souk Al Bahar — what it is for
Souk Al Bahar is a shopping destination in Downtown Dubai, Dubai. Entry to the mall is typically free; Ski Dubai, aquariums, snow parks and cinemas inside are separate tickets. Friday opening is often later than the rest of the week.
Metro, parking and prayer rooms
Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates are Metro-integrated. Ibn Battuta has its own Red Line station. Most other malls need a bus, taxi or car. Prayer rooms, food courts and taxis at the main doors are standard. In Dubai tap a Nol Silver card on Metro, tram and RTA buses. Gold is a Metro carriage, not a different bus. Pair routes with the official S’hail app before you leave the hotel.
