The new openings will provide those living and visiting Dubai South with more things to do and places to grab essential home furnishings.
Dubai South is set for a major upgrade in the coming years as work gets underway on converting Al Maktoum International Airport into the largest capacity airport in the world.
A brand new city within the city will be built in Dubai South as part of the plans. The aerotropolis has been under development and operation since 2007 in Dubai.
Dubai Festival Plaza also continues to grow, with Al-Futtaim Real Estate asset management director Hayssam Hajjar pointing out that it caters to the needs of locals.
He said: 'Festival Plaza, Jebal Ali has been steadily evolving into a lifestyle-driven community destination tailored to the needs of nearby residents with exciting home and entertainment options.
'The new additions align with our longstanding commitment to diversifying our retail mix, expanding our lifestyle offerings and investing in innovation, as well as our strategy of building deeper connections with the Jebel Ali and South Dubai communities.
'We are confident visitors will enjoy the enhanced experiences now available at the mall.'

Rebel Wilson hit with second lawsuit from The Deb producers over 'false and derogatory statements'
Rebel Wilson is facing a second lawsuit from the producers of her film The Deb over claims she made false and derogatory statements about them, according to a new report. Those statements include accusations of engaging in 'inappropriate conduct' towards actress Charlotte MacInnes, who stars in the film. They also claim Wilson falsely accused them of embezzling the film's funds, The Australian reported on Thursday. Producers Vince Holden, Gregor Cameron and Amanda Ghost on Thursday filed proceedings against Wilson in the NSW Supreme Court. Wilson is also being sued for defamation in the US courts by the three producers, who have accused her of injurious falsehood, misleading and deceptive conduct and breaches of contract and director's duties. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. They also allege that Wilson threatened the Australian distributor of the film, Kismet, by seeking an injunction to block its release. Wilson has been very vocal on the conflicts surrounding her stalled film The Deb. Taking to Instagram Stories on the musical's official social media account in May, the 45-year-old entertainer slammed star actress Charlotte MacInnes. Wilson is embroiled in a legal battle with The Deb producers after accusing them of misconduct and embezzlement. They countered by filing a defamation lawsuit against her in the US, before launching a similar case in NSW this week. She also accused them of 'inappropriate behaviour' toward MacInnes, which the rising star has denied. The Bride Hard actress reposted footage of Charlotte performing at Cannes, and wrote scathingly, 'Charlotte MacInnes in a culturally inappropriate Indian outfit on Len Blavatnik's luxury yacht in Cannes - ironically singing a song from a movie that will never get released because of her lies and support for the people blocking the film's release.' In a second post, she wrote sarcastically, 'So glad you got your record deal Charlotte at the expense of the 300 people who worked on The Deb and really wanna see it released.' In September 2024, Charlotte denied that there was any inappropriate behaviour, prompting Rebel to allege that the actress rescinded her accusations to secure a new role with one of the producers. MacInnes told at the time: 'There is no truth to the allegations made involving me. 'I made a statement to the film team when this was first said in September 2023 and am saying this now to draw a line under it. Making false accusations undermines real victims and I won't be the subject of a fabricated narrative.' After working with one of the producers, Amanda, on The Deb, Charlotte was later cast as Daisy in Florence Welch's musical Gatsby: An American Myth, staged at Boston's A.R.T. during its pre-Broadway run. Rebel subsequently shared a screenshot of the Daily Mail article on her Instagram Stories and wrote, per Just Jared, 'When an actress on her first feature film is asked by a producer to stay in the same apartment as them, and then makes a complaint to me as the director saying said producer "asked her to have a bath and shower with her and it made her feel uncomfortable" – what am I supposed to do. Of course I reported it.' She added, 'There is no world where this is acceptable. The fact that this girl has been employed now by this 'producer' in the lead role of a production called GATSBY (ART Boston) and given a record label – should be all the proof you need as to why she has now changed her story.' In documents filed to the Los Angeles Superior Court and obtained by The Guardian in November 2024, MacInnes claimed she informed Wilson that she was never sexually harassed by Amanda. Despite Charlotte's claim that she informed Wilson harassment had never occurred, the Pitch Perfect actress still proceeded with the accusations of mistreatment. 'I was deeply disturbed by this behaviour by Wilson, who was the director of the film and in a position of authority over me,' MacInnes alleged. Charlotte added in her official statement: 'Nothing that I told Wilson could reasonably have conveyed that I was reporting any misconduct, because there was no misconduct. 'I also understand [there were] claims that I was subjected to 'depraved sexual demands' and that 'MacInnes remains captive by Ghost and (fellow producer) Cameron as she is shuttled from city to city with them including Boston, New York, and London.' 'These statements are completely false and absurd. I have no idea what could cause Wilson and her attorney to make up such lies about me.'
