One of the greatest attractions in Wafi City is Wafi Mall. This massive mall was opened in 2001 and houses over 200 stores featuring a wide range of goods. In recent years the mall has made some additions that include the Khan Murjan and Salam Boutique.
Salam Boutique is the single largest store in the United Arab Emirates with it’s 10,000 square metre premises. The store offers the world’s top brands and products across four departments. These are men and women’s fashion and accessories, perfumes and cosmetics, photography and home accessories. The store also features a spa, restaurant, as well as a special children’s department. While Salam boutique is a hip, modern and energetic store, the Khan Murjan presents a more traditional environment.
The Khan Murjan is a souk in Dubai that can be accessed from Wafi Mall as well as Raffles Dubai which is a luxury hotel in Dubai. The two level subterranean souk features restaurants, artist’s retreats, coffee shops and meeting areas. Khan Murjan in Dubai houses over 150 bazaar shops and its architecture consists of a diverse range of Islamic influences. To make this possible a variety of materials were brought down from other countries including carved stone from Egypt, woodcarvings from Syria, as well as hand painted mosaic tile designs from Turkey.
Because of this the Souk is divided in to four quarters which are the Moroccan, Syrian, Egyptian and Turkish quarters. Each quarter offers a visual treat as well as a different quarter related atmosphere. One area of Khan Murjan features a beautiful glass mosaic ceiling that stretches throughout the centre. Inspiration for the magnificent souk was drawn from the original Khan Murjan that was built in Baghdad during the 14th century and served as an inn for travelers and traders.
At the centre of the souk is an open roofed courtyard restaurant situated with a backdrop of Wmawi Age architecture. The restaurant features a traditional water wheel where people can gather to indulge in an authentically cooked meal with kiln baked breads. Khan Murjan is a major landmark in the city of Dubai since its creation, with its outstanding architectural beauty as well as the active crowds, stores and craftsman housed in its walls. The stores at the souk offer a wealth of works of art from a variety of the Arab world’s most famous craftsman.
The Souk is open daily from 10 am till 10pm and till midnight on Thursday’s and Fridays. Visitors planning on visiting the souk and Wafi Mall may find a Dubai hotel such as Raffles Dubai offering an ideal location for visiting the souk.
