Not as large as the other malls, however a good place to shop and great decor. Its based on a Venice theme. I enjoyed it. Theres a food court as well.

This mall features mostly medium to high-end retailers. Parking is horrible and the wait for a taxi out can be long. The redeeming grace is the relaxed shopping experience as it's not mobbed and the food court has a modest selection.

One of the older shopping centres outside of the centre of Dubai; it was big when first built. But now it is dwarfed by the enormous centres such as the Dubai Mall, at least with the Mercato centre you see all the shops and don’t get lost and tired out. There is a supermarket, cafes, restaurant and even a cinema... More

This is a nice but small shopping mall and doesn't compare to the Ibn Battuta or the Mall of the Emirates if you want a grand scale shopping experience.

If you want to see some nice architecture then go or if you are offered a free shuttle ride and have time to kill, otherwise there isn't much in this mall.

Mercato is a medium size mall on the Jumeirah Beach in Dubai, built in the italian style with a pleasant interior, colonnades, little piazzas, fountains, a bridge at the first floor completed with a Trompe l'oeil of a Venetian lanscape. If you come by car there is an underground parking, if not there are always taxis waiting there. It doesn't... More

It is not such a huge mall but it has all the great and renowned brands in the fashion industry. Though the prices are not too cheap but there are certain choices which one cannot let go off. The choice of purchase depends upon the individual but no one will be left out without buying anything. so happy shopping!!!!!!
