People will be able to take part in games on the giant board and win cash and gift prizes.
To play, shoppers must spend at least Dh300 in the participating malls and then show their receipts to the registration desk, where they will be given a voucher.
Games last between eight and 10 minutes, with organisers expecting 35 to 45 games played each day. The player with the most points will win Dh500.
Some of the board squares have been added to, with Ski Dubai, Vox Cinemas, the Sheraton hotel and iFly Dubai making appearances. Landing on these squares will win the player an instant prize.
Each player is given one of the familiar 'tokens', such as a hat, dog, thimble or racing car, and they throw a large dice to make their way around the board.
Curious shoppers look on as Mr Monopoly explains the rules of the game. The top hat and white-mustachioed mascot will be in attendance to entertain crowds.
