Galleria Mall, Shopping mall in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Galleria Mall is a shopping mall on Al Maryah Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It houses over 400 retail stores, 100 restaurants and cafes, and entertainment options such as a cinema, virtual reality games, and family parks.
Galleria Mall opened in 2014 as part of the development of Al Maryah Island into a financial and lifestyle hub. It was later expanded in 2018 with additional retail and dining sections, and it has since become a central gathering place in Abu Dhabi.
The name Galleria suggests a place for strolling and browsing, and the mall lives up to that with wide walkways and open spaces. Visitors often see families and groups of friends gathering around the waterfront promenade, especially in the evenings when the outdoor terraces fill up.
The mall is on Al Maryah Island, easily reached by car or taxi, with parking available. It is open daily from morning until late evening, and visitors can enter through several entrances, including direct access from nearby hotels.
The mall is home to Abu Dhabi's only IMAX theatre, which is part of a 21-screen cinema complex. It also hosts the first National Geographic Ultimate Explorer edutainment center in the region, offering interactive exhibits for families.
