soft sounds and cool air

 

Every wonder what you should build in the middle of the desert?

 

A shopping mall of course, duh.

 

I decided to kill a few hours here in the Dubai Mall while I waited for sunset. Very rarely do I set foot in shopping malls, but this time I’m glad I did. There are some pretty immaculate details to be found here. It quite a bit to explore but If you start to get tired, there is 1 coffee shop per every 2.6 meters.

 

The waterfall here actually flows all the way from the ceiling to the bottom floor, where it ends in a large pond. There’s a little cafe on an overlook where you can get a cup of coffee (every 2.6 meters I tell ya) and enjoy the soft sounds and cool air.
