Wafi City

WAFI is a mixed-use development in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The complex includes a mall, hotel, restaurants, residences, and a nightclub. The "city" is styled after Ancient Egypt. This themed environment includes columns reminiscent of Karnak, small pyramids, and images of pharaohs. All the walls are the colour of the light brown stone that can be found on all structures in Ancient Egypt.

The main feature of Wafi is the mall, called Wafi Mall. Opened in 1991,[1] the mall includes over 200 stores. Wafi Mall is the premier life of glass especially selected from mosques and temples across the Islamic world. It's one of the largest windows of its kind.

In 2007, many masked gunmen rammed two cars into some shops at the mall. They stole cash and diamonds. They were later found in Europe and sent back to Dubai.[2]
