The US$1.3 billion (Dh4.77 billion) shopping, dining, and leisure destination spans 186,000 square metres of gross leasable area and features more than 400 retail stores and 80 food and beverage outlets. The official opening was attended by Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, UAE Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence. It was developed by Al Farwaniya Property Developments, a partnership between Agility Global, United Projects for Aviation Services Company (UPAC), and the National Real Estate Company (NREC).
The mall features a plethora of retail brands as well as a cinema complex with private viewing rooms. It is pioneering the future of integrated online and in-person shopping experiences with a host of digital innovations, including an aggregated mobile app that offers hands-free shopping, in-mall navigation, smart parking, and more.
Faisal Jamil Sultan Al-Essa, Al Farwaniya Property Developments LLC’s Chairman, said, “Reem Mall is an iconic project that epitomizes innovation, offering a premium mall experience and fostering community spirit.

Both NREC and UPAC are committed to creating a unique destination that aligns with Abu Dhabi’s vision to offer a remarkable lifestyle and leisure experience.”
The mall hosts the region’s largest snow park, “Snow Abu Dhabi”, which sprawls 9,732 square metres and was inaugurated in June 2023. It offers 20 rides, including sledding, carousels, zorbing, and zip-lining. The mall is also home to one of the region’s fully integrated omnichannel retail ecosystem with digital, e-commerce, and logistics capabilities.
