Hands-free at Mall of the Emirates
Mall of the Emirates sets the mood for its elite visitors from the get-go. Get dropped off at the ground level VIP area or access the Fashion Dome from the luxurious valet parking zone, where you can sip on complimentary refreshments at the lounge before starting your shopping expedition. Comb through three storeys of fashion straight off international runways at the mall's flagship Harvey Nichols with a personal shopper to guide you. Don’t worry if you find yourself balancing shopping bags after a particularly intense spree – Mall of the Emirates offers several ‘hands-free’ collection desks for your convenience. Leave your bags with the helpful staff where it will be sealed, stored and delivered at your request, either to a preferred location at the mall or straight to your hotel.
