Join in as we peek a look at all that City Walk Dubai holds and the things that make it special.<\/p>\n
Background<\/h2>\n
Jumeirah, a posh residential locality, with small businesses and shops on every corner and the staple late-night Shawarma joints, became home to City Walk. Realising the potential for an open retail space that matches the taste and opulence of Dubai residents in the affluent Jumeirah, the developers launched the ambitious project. From there on there\u2019s been no stopping the rapid development of the neighbourhood between Al Wasl and Al Safa, thanks in part of the City Walk project.<\/p>\n
Reminiscent of a busy London street with street-side cafes and shopping outlets, City Walk Dubai boasts a classy Mayfair vibe with oodles of Dubai magic thrown in for good measure. There are even the iconic British phone booth on display here.The first phase of this ambitious project opened in 2013, with a follow up phase officially opening for visitors in 2016 with 60 additional concepts.<\/p>\n
Next, let\u2019s look at all that the 13000 square foot complex houses.<\/p>\n
