The Dubai Mall is one of the largest shopping malls on earth, less a mall than a destination with an aquarium, ice rink, VR park, and hundreds of shops and restaurants beside the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Fountain. Entry is free; individual attractions are ticketed. It is enormous and overwhelming on weekends, so pick a couple of targets and use it to escape the midday heat.
