just googling to find out the best place to park for quick access to Waitrose as its donkey's years since I've been there; I went to one website and hit the link 'for more information visit the Waitrose website'....... It led me to a Waitrose website with online delivery and my heart leapt - but only for a split second - the link was to the UK website. SOOOOO disappointed you wouldn't believe lol!

So anyway, can someone please tell me the answer - what is the best carpark for Waitrose Dubai Mall? Is it the centre of the lower level of Grand Parking?

We used to park at the same place for Waitrose every time, we get horribly lost whenever we park anywhere else. For parking on LG near Waitrose......we used to enter through the CINEMA PARKING entrance on Emaar Boulevard, turn left then left again on to any of the T to W (?) parking rows.....then you enter dubai mall towards Arabian courts pass Minutes, Supacare and Waitrose on the LHS the way.....hope that made sense.....

thanks Yorky - I ended up having a meltdown this morning (totally unlike me!) and stropped off leaving DDs open mouthed (DD had been rude as well which was the final straw!) Parked in Cinema Parking. Came out into the Village bit. Walked through to the Mall. Tried to follow signs - nowhere said At the Top or anything I recognised down in the lower ground floor. Got in a lift which said LGF (I desperately needed breakfast and coffee to start!). Went down. Were back in another bit of the carpark! Walked over to some escalators. Galerie Lafayette ones - before 10am so they were shut. Security guy sent us back to the lift we'd just come out of. Walked back into mall. And so on and so on for what seemed like forever until we fell out and I stropped off! OMG is it just me? Why is it so difficult! Finally after stropping off, walking round and round, I made it to More cafe and we made up and apologised over coffee and croissants and pancakes, and then got our shopping done! I found a helpful guy on the way out - it seems we'd parked on the level one up from where we needed to be! I truly hate Dubai Mall now! Had exactly the same experience, hate DM and will never go there again.

I am probably going to be no help because I do not go to Dubai Mall often and find the car park such as maze but on my last two visits I parked quite close to the Waitrose exit. I am not sure where you are coming from but I took the exit towards Souk Al Bahar, immediately after the traffic lights there should but a sign for cinema parking. if you enter the car park at this side you are close to the Waitrose exit, it will all depend on the day how close you can park to the entrance.
