Dubai Mall visits increased by 14.2% over the past four weeks, driven by the spring shopping season and new F&B tenant openings. However, negative sentiment rose by 4.2 percentage points, mainly linked to parking difficulties, weekend crowding, and long queues. This suggests demand is strong, but experience pressure is increasing — a classic experience-risk signal.
