Shopping centres have become a more than just places to
shop and look for bargains. They are places of entertainment
people meet and have fun. Some modern shopping
centres are big they can take days to explore properly. For
example, the Cehavir Shopping and Entertainment Centre in
Istanbul covers 420,000 square metres and is considered to be
the Shopping centre in Europe. It has around 350 shops
and 50 restaurants to choose from. And if you fancy your
friends in the evening, there are 12 cinemas, a bowling alley
and even a roller coaster ride.
Another huge shopping centre is the Mall of the Emirates in
Dubai. As well as around 700 shops and restaurants, you can
go to Magic Planet, which is a mini theme park, watch a
film in one of the fourteen Cinemas. And if that isn't enough,
about visiting Ski-Dubai, the world-famous indoor ski
slope? Some people want a more cultural experience.
This is easy at the Mall of the Emirates. There is a Community
Theatre and Arts Centre on the second floor of the building
with a theatre, art galleries, a music school and a library.
