DUBAI: The magic of Disney has officially arrived in Dubai, as the city welcomed its first-ever Disney Store last week at Dubai Mall.
This landmark opening, spearheaded by the Alshaya Group, comes just two days after Abu Dhabi became home to the UAE’s first standalone Disney Store at Yas Mall.

The Dubai store, located on the second floor of Dubai Mall near the iconic Dubai Aquarium, promises a truly magical shopping adventure. From intricate murals of beloved Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars characters to immersive 3D sculptures, every detail has been designed to transport visitors into the world of Disney.
Shoppers stepping into the Dubai Mall store are greeted with stunning visual storytelling that captures the spirit of Disney’s most cherished tales. The innovative “Story Arc” feature is a particular highlight, offering themed spaces that bring classic Disney narratives to life in an interactive setting. Fans can explore different storylines and relive their favourite movie moments through carefully curated displays.
John Hadden, CEO of Alshaya Group, expressed his enthusiasm about the store’s launch, stating, “We are very proud to be bringing the first standalone Disney Stores to the UAE, with both Abu Dhabi and the flagship store in Dubai opening just before Eid al-Fitr. We are sure that Disney fans from across the Emirates – and visitors too – are excited to experience everything Disney has to offer.”
