If someone asked you to name the malls in Dubai, chances are you would say The Dubai Mall, MOE, Marina Mall, maybe Ibn Battuta and City Centre Deira or Mirdif, right?

But there are so many other malls in the city that are way smaller but have so much to offer visitors. Jumeirah alone has eight of them.

1. Beach Centre

This community mall on Jumeirah Beach Road houses Dubai’s oldest Lebanese restaurant Automatic, in addition to a party supplies store, an arts and crafts shop and a not-too-bad Chinese restaurant The Chinese Pavilion.
