Mall of the Emirates, Dubai, UAE  
     
  Constructed around the Middle East's first indoor ski slope, the Mall of the Emirates development provides a unique shopping, accommodation, entertainment and leisure facility in the heart of new Dubai.
     

The mall is constructed around a 40m long freshwater 'oasis', which forms the stage for a sequence of choreographed fountains and fire bursts. The lushly vegetated surrounding landscape and hotel podium deck serve to create an attractive green setting-softening and in contrast to the surrounding buildings.
