If you thought that Dubai’s malls already had everything you'd ever imagine, then there’s a surprise coming your way, because an indoor go-karting track is being developed at a brand-new mall coming to Dubai next year.



We’ve previously brought you tonnes of details about the new Meydan One mall, which is set to overtake The Dubai Mall as the city’s biggest, and more information has been revealed as the project enters its advanced stages.



Set to open in 2020, work first began in March 2017 and we already know that it’s going to be home to a 1km-long ski slope and an observation deck set some 100-metres higher than At The Top at the Burj Khalifa.



Now, we know that the region’s first indoor electric go-karting track. The split-level, 4,000 sq m electric track is – amazingly – set to be completely noise-free, will open up in the mall’s dedicated entertainment complex. The carts also generate far less heat than traditional petrol karts, so Meydan has promised that you won’t need to get changed into those protective racing suits.



Which means, as far as we’re concerned, spontaneous race days are going to become a regular part of our social calendar. Bring it on.



Almost half of the mall’s leasable area has been reserved exclusively for restaurants, bars and entertainment – like the ski slope and go-karting track – so while we’re expecting there to be plenty of ways to get in a bit of retail therapy there will also loads more to see and do.



Across the mall and surrounding area there will be more than 100 food and beverage outlets, plus a 21-screen cinema complex and an absolutely enormous sports centre and facility spanning nearly a quarter of a million square foot, where you’ll be able to play on full-sized footy pitches, basketball courts, cricket fields, boxing rings, baseball batting cages and even a driving range to practise your golf swing.

It looks like we’ve got a lot more stuff to add to this list...
