In a bid to ensure everyone’s safety, the Mall of the Emirates will be conducting a safety drill this week. Starting from 8:30 am on Wednesday, February 21, the mall’s entrance will be closed until further notice. This exercise, led by Civil Defence authorities, aims to prepare for emergencies.
Impact on Metro Access
During the drill, the entry and exit points to the Mall of the Emirates metro station will be temporarily shut down. This means that people won’t be able to enter the mall through the metro station. However, Dubai Metro services will continue as usual, so passengers who need to get off at the Mall of the Emirates station but aren’t visiting the mall can still use the metro.
