BurJuman Centre Dubai

BurJuman Centre, which was launched in 1991, has undergone several renovations and expansions to stay aligned with modern retail trends. The centre is situated in the Bur Dubai neighbourhood, and it provides a direct access point to the Burjuman Metro Station, making it is easy and convenient for both tourists and inhabitants.

The mall has retail, dining, and entertainment areas of different levels, with luxury brands, mid-range fashion outlets, diverse dining options, and family entertainment zones being the main attractions. In addition to being a shopping place, BurJuman Centre has a nice community atmosphere, a perfect combination of luxury and relaxation.

Fun fact: BurJuman Centre was one of Dubai’s early premium shopping malls that introduced luxury retail concepts in the 1990s.  It included high-class luxury labels and stores appealing to families, thereby setting a benchmark for future retail development in the UAE.

Advisory for the season: The summers in Dubai (May–September) are very hot, so BurJuman's air-conditioned interior will be the most comfortable place for shopping and entertainment. Moreover, the months from October to April are very pleasant and easy to walk through the Bur Dubai area, and see the old stretches like Al Seef and Dubai Creek at the same time.

• Affordable Fashion: The mall also features a wide selection of mid-range and budget-friendly fashion brands.

• Entertainment Zone: The cinema, play areas designed for little kids, and fun activities for everyone make up the entertainment zone.
• Convenient Location: Being right under the BurJuman Metro Station makes it one of the most convenient malls in Dubai.
