Once you have compared the malls of Dubai this one seems a bit small and empty, but dont discount it, yes the range of shops is smaller and some are not of the calibre which have bought space in the newer malls but it does have some nice restaurants. The Ashas restaurant located in the mall is a excellent indian... More

During my 2nd visit in Dubai & my experience on the Dubai open roof tour bus I decided to stop at WAFI on the 9th Feb/12, Wafi City Mall is a good place to buy some nice clothing, Wafi looks impressive on first arrival. I almost felt I had just arrived in Egypt! with it's unusual structural statues, I spent... More

This is the second time i have visited this mall. The first was back in 2004. I looked forward to returning to this Mall as back in 2004 it was one of the newest and best Malls. The Mall was designed with an Egyptian theme and was completed in 2001. However now you have the Dubai Mall and The Mall... More

If you are seeking a shopping experience in Dubai, where you do not wish to be pushed, pressured or harassed by crowds this is the mall for you. We sat enjoyed soft drinks and snacks in the cafe. Browsed and shopped in the lovely friendly air conditioned atmosphere. The other great feature is the souk located in the lower ground... More

Other than being shaped like a pyramid, there isn't much going for it. The mall is full of overpriced stores, of which you can get the exact same product at a lower price at a different mall such as mall of emirates. The location is terrible, in the middle of a busy highway, the mall is empty most of the... More

This Mall is like a Ghost Town. Over priced boutiques and whilst we were there, so many shops either being refurbished or closed before 9pm. Some of the restaurants outside (especially the Spanish Tapas Bar) are excellent, but that is about it!

The "pyramids" are easy to find - and, like most malls in Dubai - very "tardis-like" - much bigger inside than it appears. In the central area, where the "Big Red Buses" stop, there are steps down to a souk (market) - you absolutely MUST visit the place. I didn`t know which was more impressive - the shops or the... More

There are so many other tops Malls in Dubai to choose from I would place the Wafi City Mall down towards the bottom of my list!! Why spend time here when you could really enjoy your Shopping Adventure at the other tops Malls of Dubai??
