The revamped open-air space will ultimately develop into a 300 meter long world class waterfront venue with more than 20 restaurants, offering a wide variety of international cuisines to cater for the diverse gastronomic tastes of Dubai’s residents and tourists, including Dubai’s first Serendipity 3 as well as C-House, Texas Road House, Cheese Cake Factory, Eataly, Fratelli La Bufala, Sugar Factory and Al Fanar, among others.
To celebrate the public opening of this unique-to-Dubai dining destination, mall visitors from 16 February to the end of April will enjoy an urban, fun outdoor events entertainment programme designed to entertain adults and children alike at the one-of-a-kind location with breathtaking views of Dubai’s ever changing skyline.
The opening weekend will treat visitors to a full-fledged fiesta featuring performances by celebrity bands and popular DJs, in addition to fun activities including free mini golf stations and bouncy castles.

The waterfront complements the mall’s wide range of over 400 retail outlets, fashion and leisure, entertainment and over 75 dining options to welcome visitors by the time the AED 1.5 billion expansion project is completed in 2016.
