Mall of the Emirates, Dubai, vs. Tysons Corner mall, northern Virginia

1. More women wear the full veil at Tysons, especially on Friday and Saturday nights.

2. There are more Christmas decorations at Mall of the Emirates.

3. You will find a “Borders bookstore” — replete with the original font — at the Emirates locale.

4. At the Emirates mall you hear much more Russian, and many of the core signs are in Russian too.  I guess that is the biggest difference?
