The shopping centre opened in September 2008 to be the largest in Bahrain.[3] It claims 340 retail outlets, including anchors hypermarket Carrefour and luxury department store Saks Fifth Avenue,[5][6] both the first in Bahrain, as well as 60 dining outlets.[7][8]
The mall is designed to accommodate weekend visitors from Saudi Arabia across the King Fahd Causeway by featuring two Kempinski hotels and an indoor water park.[9]
Entertainment facilities include:
- Magic Planet is a family entertainment centre for kids and family.[10][11][4]
- Wahoo! Waterpark is a 15,000 square metre climate-controlled indoor/outdoor water park. (Closed since 2022)[4][12]
- A 20-screen Cineco Cinema is spread across 8,000 square metres.[4][13]
- It is home to over 40 exclusive brands, including 60 dining options and many quick snack break options.
- A fire broke out in a restaurant chimney on 8 January 2020 and was extinguished within 55 minutes. The mall was evacuated as a precaution and there were no reported casualties.[14]
- The new rule means that kids and teenagers will need to bring an adult along for their visit. So, no more unchaperoned trips for those looking to kill time or hang out. Looks like parents are going to have to dust off their mall-walking shoes.
