Heads up, Dubai Mall patrons and employees, the drop-off and pick-up spot near Waitrose has now been moved. The new location requires a quick stroll across the bridge tunnel from Ekart Zabeel to reach the main part of the mall. Luckily, the taxi area near the mall’s indoor waterfall is still available for those catching a cab from the mall. So, come with me, and I’ll tell you Dubai Mall’s new drop-off and pick-up spot!

Where Is The New Drop-Off & Pick-Up Point?
You will now have to walk to Zabeel P3 instead of near Waitrose for the new drop-off and pick-up point. This can be about a 10-minute walk across the mall’s bridge, depending on how fast or slow you walk. Dubai Mall posted about this change on their Instagram story, and it is now officially in effect as of Monday, August 12th.

What’s New In Dubai Mall?
This isn’t the only change Dubai Mall has implemented this year. On July 1st, the mall’s parking garage started using a barrier-free, ticketless parking system that charges based on vehicle plate recognition through Salik. But it doesn’t sound as bad as you think. The first 4 hours of your shopping experience are still free. After that, you’ll have to pay for each additional hour you park at the mall. However, we’ve found an amazing life hack to help you avoid the Dubai Mall parking fees!
