With malls across the UAE partially re-opening, some people may be considering visiting one.

However, it's important to note that entertainment destinations such as cinemas and gyms remain closed, face masks are a must, physical distancing protocols must be followed and the maximum time permitted in the mall is three hours. Stores will also have to operate at 30 per cent capacity, meaning there might be a wait to get into a shop if it has reached that limit.
