23. The Dubai Mall
Available GLA: 350,000 square meters
Location: Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Everything is just bigger in Dubai, so it’s no surprise its mall lands a spot on our list of biggest malls in the world in 2017. The Dubai Mall is one of the prime examples of why we went with the gross available area and not the total area of the mall. Dubai mall is one of the largest malls in the world in terms of total area, which is roughly 1,124,000 square meters. However, as you can see the GLA of Dubai Mall is merely 350,000 square meters.
