The mall includes an Arabian-style Khan Murjan Souk,[2] Carrefour hypermarket, and a Samal department store.[3][4]
The mall opened in 1991,[5] and includes over 300 stores. It features stained glass ceilings in an Islamic style. The mall features a visa application centre.[6] Free Wi-Fi is available in the mall, provided by du.[7]
