Though it may not be quite as large as some of the newer shopping centres in the area, Nakheel Mall is dedicated to creating a vibrant upscale shopping, dining and entertainment environment, focusing on being accessible and appealing to the whole family, with a wealth of shops and dining options.
Shopping
Much of Saudi Arabia's social life revolves around shopping. It is very common for families to visit one of the many large shopping centres and spend the whole day browsing, enjoying some refreshments, and escaping the intense heat in the air-conditioned malls. But be sure to head to some of the smaller markets for more traditional and authentic shopping experiences, as well. The date market is an absolute must.
