Only OG Dubai Residents Will Remember These Iconic Malls!

Before Dubai Mall and the city's modern shopping destinations, these were the places that made our childhood unforgettable!

From weekend trips to Al Ghurair Centre and BurJuman to unforgettable moments at Deira City Centre, Lamcy Plaza, Wafi Mall, Oasis Centre and Mall of the Emirates, every mall holds a special memory.

Remember the climbing clown at Lamcy Plaza? The excitement of Magic Planet at Deira City Centre? Or your first visit to Ski Dubai?

These weren't just shopping malls. They were where families spent their weekends, friendships were made, and some of our favourite childhood memories began.

Which of these OG Dubai malls brings back the most memories for you? And which one do you miss the most? Tell us in the comments!
