Kuwait City Heritage Souq & Modern Shopping Malls Tour

The Avenues

The Avenues Mall is the largest shopping mall in Kuwait[1] and the second largest mall in the Middle East. It features more than 800 stores and parking space that fits more than 10,000 cars.[3] Its exteriors are surrounded by fountains.

360 Mall

360 Mall is a luxury shopping mall. The 360Mall derives its name from its circular structure, which was due in part to the rigorous zoning restrictions. It is located in one of Kuwaitas fastest growing residential areas. It is influenced by Middle Eastern architecture, featuring hand-blown glass sculptures by Dale Chihuly, along with a Solar Garden with 21,000 plants growing on a vertical wall intended to help improve air quality and act as a natural bio-filter. Other features include a water feature, an organically shaped skylight in the Main Atrium, and sculptured landscaping on the outside of the building.

Souq Al-Mubarakiya is a historic souq in Kuwait City, Kuwait. It is one of the oldest souqs in Kuwait and was a center of trade prior to the discovery of oil. This market has been around for at least 200 years.
