The Outlet Village Mall
The Outlet Village is well regarded for its Italian-themed architecture, luxury brand selection at outlet prices and relaxed open-air atmosphere.
It's located on the city's outskirts, so it's a bit of a drive, and stock at the outlet stores varies, meaning it can be hit-or-miss for specific brands; the open-air layout is also warmer in summer. For discounted designer shopping in a pleasant setting, though, most consider it worth the trip.
What's the difference from Dubai Outlet Mall?
The Outlet Village focuses on luxury brands (Balmain, Valentino, Versace) in an Italian-themed open-air setting; Dubai Outlet Mall focuses on mid-range brands in an enclosed mall format.
What discounts can I expect?
30–70% off retail prices on luxury labels year-round.
Where is it located?
