Mall'd out
If I never see another shopping mall, it will be too soon I tell you! You've got to hand it to them though, they are all pretty damn ugly with incredibly poor signage...at least they are consistent.
However, I have come to a conclusion that poor signage is a strategic ploy in order to get visitors to spend more time in the mall. Most of the shops are on the shite side, but surely you're destined to find at least one shop where you will want to part with your dirhams if you've lapped the mall 5 times.
And I am quite sure that they have some super advanced eradication system, which makes you conveniently forget one item of shopping from your list. The result of this is you having to make another trip to the supermarket to buy one single item only to leave with another shopping trolley full!
On the flip side, a shopping mall is the only feasible way we can enjoy the experience of shopping due to the climate. I certainly would not entertain strolling up and down Beach road in 40-50c temperatures. I think they should introduce a new law, you are only permitted to enter a shopping mall if you buy something, otherwise there is a fine of 1million dirhams! Honestly, in certain malls, every evening and weekend is like London's oxford street on Christmas Eve!
Themed malls appear to be the new black at the moment – well either that, or the largest most fantabulous mall in the whole wide world with ski slopes, a squillion screen cinema, golf courses, trips to the moon, walk in plastic surgery, lessons on how to cross breed camels and not forgetting those endless coupons you must to complete in order to win all those amazing cars on display. You fill the coupons in earnest only to find that you become a victim of serial SMS spamming.
On a final note, parking availability is habitually a well thought out and concisely planned exercise – “leave them wanting more” must be their motto. They consistently seem to underestimate the parking spaces required to accommodate all the customers who will shop in the largest most fabulous mall in the whole wide word.
Exhale!
