The Mall of the Emirates, a massive shopping complex featuring designer chains, department stores, and international restaurants, is located near Al Barsha, as are other attractions like Ski Dubai's enclosed ski slopes and penguins. Al Barsha Pond Park, which is famed for picnics and go-karting, is tucked away in the shade, while the expansive Dubai Miracle Garden, which is operational from October to April, features spectacular floral displays and butterfly domes.
