New mall brings international shopping to Al Ain

The opening of the new Al Ain Mall yesterday brings international quality shopping and puts the retail spotlight on the garden city.

Sheikh Sultan bin Tahnoun Al Nahyan, Undersecretary of the Court of the Ruler's Representative in the Eastern Region, inaugurated the upscale mall on behalf of Sheikh Tahnoun bin Mohammed Al Nahyan, the Ruler's Representative in the Eastern Region and Vice Chairman of the Executive Council.

Several anchor stores such as Spinneys, Nissan, Paris Gallery, Grand Stores, Salam Studios, Mother Care, Baby Shop and many others will provide shoppers a wider choice and brands, a mall spokesman said.

Developed and built by the Abu Dhabi-based Al Hamed Enterprises, the Al Ain Mall has a 3,700 square metre family entertainment centre with party rooms, a 12-lane bowling alley and an ice skating rink combined with four cinemas. There are also food courts, coffee shops and restaurants.

"We will definitely change the face of shopping in Al Ain," the official said.

Al Ain entered the mall age earlier this year when the Al Jimi shopping Mall opened.
