Happy Chinese New Year

Here we have a new reason for celebration. Chinese New Year.
I found this advertisement in Mall Of Emirates.
There were many Chinese decorations all around the mall. afterwards i learnt that there were also Chinese dance shows everyday at different schedule in the mall for the celebration of Chinese New Year.
This year MOE management has arranged some activities like festival nearly during one month.
I hope I will catch more on my next visit.

Ski Dubai - 2

Yesterday I showed you from the wide view from the second floor. Today, we have closer shot next at ground floor.
kids are playing with snow, I took this picture while I was waiting my coffee. Earlier I shared one picture from this cafe which had LCD fireplace :)

freezing cold in Dubai?

I took it last week, at Mall of Emirates.
Man-made ski slop is located at the end of the mall. There is huge glass wall. Mall visitors can see the inside.
the temperature at inside around -4 C deg outside, actually it is still inside of the mall is around 20 deg.

Inside the Ski Dubai, there is one cafe, ski slops for different levels, playground for small children even you can take class of ski.

Santa's list

Merry Christmas to everyone...

This year, we had the tree, decorations, dancers, animators ect at Mall of Emirates as usual.
But this year there was something different.

Between 10-20 th of December, they collected wishes for this festive season.
Everyday there was one lucky winner. MOE delivered her / his wish as gift the next day.

LCD Fireplace !?

There is once cafe in the mall of emirates, it is located just next to the Ski Dubai. One side is complete wide glass so you can see ski slops, kids are playing with snow or making snowman.

From this view I assume, they called themselves as St. Moritz cafe. In the middle of the cafe there is this fireplace. don't be shocked with the fire in the mall.
It is not real. It is LCD screen, fire video is on. :))

a film for everyone

a film for everyone,,
this is the slogan of the Dubai International Film Festival. it is pretty good and reflecting the truth.

I wish I could understand what is written on her face. I assume one of DIFF's slogan is written.
With calligraphy Arabic alphabet turns into great graphic design.  

J for Jail

Even at monopoly staying in Jail is not pleasant.

Ski Dubai..
Indoor Ski resort located in Mall of Emirates. It has 22500 square meters area.
Opened in 2005.
One part is full with glass,in this way people can see the inside from the mall. There are some restaurants also located next to that and they have a view of ski slop. :)
it must be different experience to feel the -4 when the weather is +40.

fountain at Mall of Emirates

Mall of Emirates.

Earlier I posted some pictures from the ground floor you can see here; indoor piazza  and close shot for the horse called horse at the mall

the dome is glass so it helps to have real flowers in front of restaurants. There are Chinese, Italian, Lebanon restaurants and steak house, and some more that I don't remember now.

Perception

Last week, when I was walking in the Mall of Emirates, I noticed the window of Harvey Nicholson has changed.

They dedicated their 4 main windows for young local artists art pieces. This was called Perception Series #4 by Bahar al Bahar. He is one of awarded young artist in 2013 by Sheikha Manal.

his words about this particular art piece also were available on the window.

"the celebration of Ramadan spans an entire month, making it stand out amongst other occasions that usually occur for a shorter span of time. The notion of a month interval was used to construct a geometric formal system which abstracts the periodical event while replacing its time perception into a visual and a physical representation of what a month could look like - had it been a physical object" 

Giant Monopoly

This is new activity at Mall Of Emirates to attract more visitors to the mall.
there is small game for every 10 minutes who wanted to play. there are some prizes and big prize is 500 DHS for the winner.

horse at the mall

taken at Mall of Emirates. the fountain is quite big and there is

Indoor Piazza

Taken at Mall of Emirates just after opening hour in one Friday. Otherwise it is not possible to find this area that much empty.

You can think this part of the mall is a kind of square in regular cities, decorated with fountain and surrounded with several cafes and restaurants.

Because of the climate, I guess this is quite reasonable. : )

Love & Shop

I took this picture beginning of this week at Mall of Emirates, one of most visited mall in the city.
At fashion dome, they had special decoration with high brands full of hearth shaped shiny decoration.

Where are you from?

Harvey Nichols - Mall of Emirates

Harvey Nichols's window always has unique style. I took this picture couple of days ago at Mall of Emirates. Actually this decoration is there for a while. When I saw first, my camera was not with me, this time i had my camera and i tried to get nice shot without reflection from front shop.
Harvey Nichols founded in 1831. This luxury department store originated from London.
