The Middle East emirate has announced their plans to build the world's largest shopping mall titled "The Mall of the World" in Dubai, according to reports.
The largest shopping mall will have its own theme park, 20,000 hotel rooms and a inside climate-controlled dome, Metro.co.uk reported.
Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum said that this project complemented their plans to transform Dubai into a cultural, tourist and economic hub for the 2billion people that lived in the region around them and they were determined to achieve their vision.
The Mall of the World will cover 743,000 sq m, four times the size of the MetroCentre in Gateshead, the largest shopping centre in Europe and it will also hold 7km (4.3 miles) of thoroughfares based on London's Oxford Street, a 'Broadway' theatre district and facilities for 'medical tourists'.
