Festival Plaza mall opens on December 18: here are all of the stores you will find there
12 December, 2019
Festival Plaza mall near Jebel Ali and Ibn Battuta Mall will open next Wednesday, December 18.
The mall, which sits just beside Sheikh Zayed Road, will be home to the UAE's largest Ikea: this is Dubai's second Ikea. The first is in Festival City near Garhoud, and there's also an Ikea on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.
While the Ikea is certainly its flagship, the mall will feature plenty of other stores. Festival Plaza is part of the under-construction Wasl Gate community, which will eventually feature townhouses, apartments and futher retail spaces: the area also has good access to the Dubai Metro, being close to the Energy Metro Station.
So what stores will you find in Festival Plaza?
