soft sounds and cool air
Ever wonder what you should build in the middle of the desert?
A shopping mall of course, duh.
I decided to kill a few hours here in the Dubai Mall while I waited for sunset. Very rarely do I set foot in shopping malls, but this time I’m glad I did. There are some pretty immaculate details to be found here. It has quite a bit to explore but If you start to get tired, there is 1 coffee shop per every 2.6 meters.
The waterfall here actually flows all the way from the ceiling to the bottom floor, where it ends in a large pond. There’s a little cafe on an overlook where you can get a cup of coffee (every 2.6 meters I tell ya) and enjoy the soft sounds and cool air.
