Explore Ibn Battuta Mall like never-before in newly-launched AR walking tour
IbnBattuta Mall, the worlds biggest themed mall and architectural wonder by Nakheel Malls, is inviting residents and tourists to walk in the legendary explorers footsteps in a brand new and limited time expedition starting 18 March. Accompanied by a tour guide, mall visitors will embark on an experiential journey complete with Augmented Reality (AR) filters waiting to be unlocked on Instagram.
Visitors can head to Ibn Battuta Mall and enjoy free AR walking tours with a real-life avatar of Ibn Battuta who will interact with children and tell tales from the past, as they visit six different country-themed courts to learn more about the Moroccan travellers journeys throughout his lifetime.
An interactive and educational experience for the whole family, the walking tour also comprises six AR filters inspired by the world traveller, each demonstrating the courts unique features - a roaring lion in Andalusian Court, a phoenix in Egypt Court, an elephant in India Court and a dragon in China Court. Furthermore, the mall introduced a Pharaoh make-up face filter and a traditional Indian make-up face filter for families and friends to play with as they shop and dine.
Visitors can also win exciting prizes when sharing their experience on social media.
The free tours will take place on weekends (Thursdays-Saturdays) starting 18 March until 3 April at 3pm, 5pm and 7pm, and visitors can book their slots online.
