The complex is well-known amongst Bahrain’s residents and visitors and a favourite choice when thinking of shopping or if you want to enjoy a good range of restaurants and entertainment. The destination attracts more than 13.5 million visitors annually and is spread across more than 158,000sq/m of retail space. An international selection of more than 340 brands and 60 dining outlets makes the mall one of the Kingdom’s attractions. Looking for family leisure?

If you want to enjoy the latest Hollywood blockbuster, there’s also a 20-screen Cineco Cinema.

However, apart from all the leisure and exciting shopping experience, the commercial complex offers much more. Campaigns specially designed to support its community are created and implemented throughout the year. Always bringing interesting subjects and specialised people to run them, the complex does its share for the country. “As part of our vision to create great moments for everyone, every day, we hope to serve our communities by going even further and beyond the shopping experience,” affirms Duaij Khalifa Al Rumaihi, senior mall manager for City Centre Bahrain. The recent “Feel the Beat” campaign held in partnership with King Hamad University Hospital, had the goal of raising awareness on women’s cardiovascular health in the Kingdom. The action saw medical professionals administrating a series of free preventative tests including measurement of blood pressure, blood sugar and body mass index (BMI). Additionally, women could learn about CPR procedures with live educational demonstrations. Cardiovascular disease has emerged as the leading cause of death in most countries in the Middle East. It causes 45 per cent of early deaths in the Gulf region and women are not spared, despite the common belief that the condition mainly affects men. Also, in line with its concern for its customers, the shopping complex has recently launched a new car park guidance system which enables shoppers to identify free parking spaces and easily locate their vehicles. The first of its kind in Bahrain, the LED lighting system on the ceiling of the car park lanes allows customers to spot available parking spaces with a green light indicating a vacant space, blue showing an available space for the disabled and red meaning space occupied. Additionally, kiosks have been added at the mall gates which help customers find their vehicles at the end of their visit. To locate your car, you just have to enter your plate number on the touchscreen and click find. “Customer feedback has demonstrated that the parking experience has a direct influence on the overall quality of a shopping mall trip. City Centre Bahrain is piloting new technologies which will significantly improve the convenience and accessibility of our malls,’ says Duaij.
