 The Dubai Mall is an absolutely massive shopping center in Dubai, UAE that's part of the $20 billion Burj Khalifa complex.

It first opened in 2008 to much fanfare, and offers a lot more than shopping at its 600+ stores. The mall has a 22-screen movie theater, a replica of London's Regent Street, an Olympic-sized ice skating rink and much more.

The mall is now the world's most-visited shopping destination, having attracted upwards of 54 million visitors in 2011. It's also the world's largest shopping mall by overall area, with 12.1 million square feet of space.
