Bahrain
More Than Just Shopping
Shopping malls didn't just
happen. Originally seen as
community centres where
people could comfortably do
their shopping, engage in some cultural
activity, and social interaction, the
mall has transcended all of those early
expectations. In today's consumer
culture, it is safe to say, the mall is the
center of all things.
As a vibrant tourist hub, the
Kingdom of Bahrain is no less than
any major capital of the world, offering
visitors an array of attractions from
five-star hotels and resorts to megamalls
and multi-use developments.
With its ancient forts and souqs, its
beautiful mosques and stunning
architecture, the Kingdom of Bahrain is
truly a fascinating amalgam of the old
and the new, presenting a wonderful
mix for tourists to enjoy. Historic sites,
towering skyscrapers, amazing food
spots representing cuisines of the Arab
world and beyond, and much more. The
Bahrain archipelago made up of more
than 30 islands also makes for some
magnificent skylines and vistas of sea
and sky.
However, one of its main attractions
continue to be its malls. Complementing
the wealth of hidden gems, Bahrain’s
shopping malls and complexes, spread
out across the kingdom, provide a
cool option to spend a hot afternoon
all through the summer months and
a dash of dazzle, colour and exciting
international brands to choose from,
all through the year. Many would argue
that there truly is no better place to
spend your day in Bahrain than in
one of its well-appointed, luxurious
shopping havens. A variety of
entertainment venues, fine dining, and
shopping options - they have something
that would tempt the most jaded.
We bring to you here a compilation
of the best and most interesting malls,
both old and new, in Bahrain.
