| 1: | Beena Patil Mhatre: What a beautiful place. Superb architecture and work. Serene place for your prayers and seek God. Please note the females need to cover their head and full hands to enter the mosque. So dress up accordingly. Alternatively you can buy an Abaya in the shop and manage. It’s worth it. |
| 2: | Aleksandr Kondratev: A very unusual underground shopping center with large grocery stores and good cafes on the street and inside the building. Here you can buy cool souvenirs, as well as the entrance to the White Mosque is carried out from this shopping center. |
| 3: | Firoze Mistry: This is a shopping mall that is at the entrance of the Grand Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. I am given to understand that the prices here are controlled at least that is what our tour guide mentioned, although I personally did not think so. This place has several coffee shops including some well known ones. We also found a small supermarket that caters to drinks and snacks which were fairly good. The shopping here was not so great as it’s always better to go to the larger malls like Yas mall etc. However if you intend visiting the Grand Mosque and are not in the correct attire then this is the last stop where you can pickup the same. |

| 3: | Alyaziah Hayat: When I was on holiday in Abu Dhabi, everyone was raving on about how I really need to visit The Galleria. Little did I know that this place is THE MALL to be at when in the city. I really love the modern architectural design of the mall. It is definitely different than the other malls in the city and perhaps even the county. There are countless luxury and high end stores at this mall but you’ll also find budget-friendly places too. I can almost guarantee that you can’t leave this mall empty handed. Definitely a must visit! |

| 1: | A J M A L S H X H !: Wow one of the great place I have ever seen, It’s a really beautiful and modern mall. The mall has many things to do. Awesome place. had a fun time. Lots of sites to see and people are nice. food was great. Tried a lot of different dishes.The Mall by definition would be a place for shopping and food court where people would go to either shop or do window shopping and enjoy the wide display of products by different brands and then have a meal at the food court. It can be a full-day out for weekenders either enjoying the display of latest products or spending time at one of the entertainment outlet definitely a must visit! But thanks to their high-tech information hub, you can easily navigate the mall despite its size. They have a wide variety of brands for your shopping need, and the food option won’t disappoint as well. There are a lot of activities to do as well. You must must must be visit😉 |
| 2: | BY: Huge mall. Spacious walkway. Easily accessible by public bus and bus stops at front of the mall. Mall has more than one entrance. Food court is not big and doesn’t have much varieties to choose. |
| 3: | Dr.Damodharan Varadarajan: One of the best mall in terms of parking all most you can find most of the stores. Starting from Etisalat to DU all service providers are there.

| 1: | BY: Good and Big Mall easily accessible by public bus. Live aquarium pillar with the attached lift is mesmerizing. Spacious walkways. Bus stop is just opposite the mall. No much traffic around the mall. Beautiful sky walk road crossing opposite the mall which attractively glows in the night. However, There is not enough signboard marking within the mall. Food court Shop options are okay but not as good as Alwahda mall. |
| 2: | Shemi and Her Sweet Escapes: One of the star mall, best place for the kids to play area – here you can find lot of interior games for children also food court is available for kids and the family. Most of the resident families use to visit here to spend family time. Best place for the shopping, just to roam around, good restaurant, grocery shopping here, Money exchange, Etisalat service, ice cream parlor, beauty parlor, like wise list goes on. Restrooms are clean. Parking available here for the mall to visit, I so loved this Fish aquarium inside the mall as you enter. The entrance is from the fountain thats right at the main entrance, its beautiful and ecstatic.Adjacent to the mall there are huge fish, meat and vegetable markets. In the fish market they offer free cleaning of the fish and there are shops that can cook them for a small fee in the charcoal barbecue or fry them, really very handy to have them prepared while you shop or have a coffee. To the back side of the mall there is a big car wash and at the internal parking lot there is a car tinting shop. Must visit |
| 3: | dan errol dizon: What i liked about this mall is that they have a huge aquarium wherein you will witness various species of fishes. Its like you are in a mall and at the same time in the deep ocean. Like the other malls, you will see various shops and brands ranging from footwear to clothes etc. They have good foodcourt too. |

| 1: | Makram Radwan: Instagram: @makram.radwan, It’s a good shopping experience for shopping lovers. For me it was a just a luxurious and calm place where you can sit and relax without a lot of noise. It was mot crowded at all when I went there, the inside is beautiful but it has a little selection of dining places. It’s more focused on shopping. I found a coffee shop which was in the other building and the outside seating area there was nice. |
| 2: | Andrea R: Polished and luxurious, this small shopping destination offers the finest luxury brands. The atmosphere is calm and refined with seasonal decor – and not nearly as crowded as other malls in Abu Dhabi. Several cafes make a home in Avenue and you will find convenient ATMs, a grocery store, and pharmacy here as well. |
| 3: | Hasan Al-Hashemi: I would like to thank the management and security company for the excellent training received. |
