Oct 27, 2014 09:14 +04 Downtown Dubai’s new tramway, Dubai Trolley, said to open in two months EMIRATES 24/7: Tracks of a new transit mode in Downtown Dubai have been laid and the ‘Dubai Trolley’ will soon begin operations. Dubai Trolley is not an extension of The Dubai Tram in Al Sufouh, nor will it look anything like the tram that is to be launched this November. It is Downtown’s very own, unique transit mode aiming to offer easy access to iconic Dubai landmarks such as Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall. The first rails have been laid on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard. According to staff onsite, this is the first phase of the tramway, which will stretch from one side of the boulevard to the other; or from The Address Downtown to Burj Khalifa. This part of the project must be delivered by December, they added. The railway consists of one track and will allow one tram to move in one direction at a time. At a later stage, the tramway will circle The Dubai Mall in its entirety, they explained. Dubai Tourism or DTCM is the principal authority for the planning, supervision, development and marketing of Dubai’s tourism sector; markets and promotes the Emirate’s commerce sector; and is responsible for the licensing and classification of all tourism services, including hotels, tour operators and travel agents. Brands and departments within the DTCM portfolio include Dubai Convention and Events Bureau, Dubai Calendar, and Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (formerly known as Dubai Events and Promotions Establishment). In addition to its headquarters in Dubai, DTCM operates 20 offices worldwide.

DUBAI Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide
DUBAI Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Dubai | 2019 0 Dubai has developed into the retail hub of the Middle East and is the most sophisticated retail market in the region. The proliferation of retail development over the last ten years has led to Dubai having one of the highest retail to population densities in the world. It finished ahead of New York and London for shopping in TripAdvisor’s recently published second annual Cities Survey. Perhaps the best known of Dubai’s plentiful selection of retail malls is The Dubai Mall which is located in the heart of the prestigious Downtown Dubai and is one of the world’s most-visited retail and entertainment destination, having welcomed more than 80 million visitors annually over the last five years. Dubai Mall provides over 1,350 retail stores and over 200 food and beverage outlets, together with leisure and entertainment attractions. Its most recent expansion in 2017 provides connectivity to the attractions and amenities in the neighbouring Burj Khalifa. Other high- profile retail malls that dominate the retail market include Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Festival City. International retail brands are predominantly operated under license by ‘retail partners’ who hold licenses for multiple brands in their portfolios. These include groups such as Al Shaya, Landmark and Majid Al Futtaim. Often these retail operators can also be mall developers in their own right. These companies are very powerful in the retail sector and can make the difference between a new mall development securing attractive brands or struggling to attract the right brands and potential failure.

The Dubai Mall, Sharia Law, and Social Norms: No Short-Shorts, No PDA By Thomas Kenning, Social Studies, Plato Academy Clearwater, Clearwater, FL (An online text suited for middle or high school classroom use, complete with guided reading questions and suggested activities): How and why do social norms and laws in Muslim majority countries differ from those in countries like the United States?
