A leading shopping malls, communities, retail and leisure pioneer across the Middle East, Africa and Asia has unveiled The Hangout by Mall of the Emirates, a major new indoor-outdoor lifestyle and entertainment precinct.
A key milestone in the destination’s AED5bn transformation, the site is designed around the way people increasingly choose to spend their time, The Hangout will bring together entertainment, dining and social experiences within one connected destination.
The precinct will introduce four entertainment concepts alongside 18 F&B experiences, creating a dynamic new environment where visitors can play, connect, dine and spend time together.
During Dubai’s cooler months, The Hangout will extend outdoors through Mall of the Emirates’ first dedicated F&B courtyard. Designed as a landscaped social space, the courtyard will connect seamlessly with the indoor precinct through fully operable façades, creating a fluid indoor-outdoor environment for al fresco dining, gatherings and events.
The destination will also introduce a dedicated climate-controlled outdoor pedestrian connection to New Covent Garden Theatre and Fashion Dome, improving connectivity across the wider entertainment district and creating a more seamless customer journey through the space.
Opening in phases through 2026 and into early 2027, The Hangout represents an important step in the continued evolution of Mall of the Emirates from a leading shopping destination into a multi-dimensional lifestyle destination creating more reasons for people to visit, stay longer and return more often.
