The Galleria is the go-to destination for fashionistas and food connoisseurs. Positioned at the centre of the developing Al Maryah Island precinct – a 15-minute drive from the hotel – the mall is a brand lover’s paradise with labels Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior, Emporio Armani, and Tom Ford having a presence here alongside culinary favourites such as Cafe Milano, Roberto’s, Nusr-Et Steakhouse, and Zuma.
Nation Towers is within walking distance of the hotel, and as well as hosting a Lamborghini showroom, the boutique retail space features traditional perfume stores, high-end watch retailers, designer childrenswear, one of the emirates’ largest bookstores, and a luxury cinema. The Gold Centre at Madinat Zayed is the place for gold and silver products, while for traditional market goods, the souk at the World Trade Center Mall in the city centre is worth perusing, as is Souk at Qaryat Al Beri in Al Maqta.
