10 Things to do in Dubai Festival City That You Shouldn't Miss
Dubai is a destination that mixes modern culture with history, adventure with world-class shopping and entertainment. Catch a show at the Dubai Opera, see downtown from atop the Burj Khalifa and spend an afternoon along Dubai Creek exploring the gold, textile and spice souks. If you’re looking for thrills, you can float above the desert dunes in a hot air balloon, climb aboard a high-speed ride at IMG Worlds of Adventure or skydive over the Palm Jumeirah.

We had a day free on our trip to Dubai, so we decided to explore Festival City Mall and we were not disappointed. Took a Metro right upto Creek station. Then after a short walk in the sun, we took a lovely AC boat ride to Festival City. It costs just 2 dirhams per way pp. The highlight of the visit was the IKEA store where we got many things at reasonable prices. They also have a bistro and lunch place which is good. Carrefour was also a good place. Other shops were mostly expensive. There is a fountain show there later in evening though we didn't wait for it. Came back the same route. It's a great mall to walk around and not as expensive as Dubai Mall

We happened to grab dinner at the Festival City Mall twice during our trip to Dubai (Cheesecake Factory and California Pizza Kitchen) and between those two dinners caught 4 fountain shows. All different. All great! My favorite was the one with the dancer. The largest water projection screen in the world, the use of lasers and fire...my entire family enjoyed it all. All of the special effects makes it far more entertaining than the Dubai Fountains at the Dubai Mall. We ate around 6:30-7:00 and had no problem being seated right away outside on the terrace where you had great views of the fountains. I suggest timing your dinner with the shows bc you could see the crowds of people below on ground level straining to see the show. Definitely go!
