Manshar Mall: Rotana Hotel Open
One day it was not open – and then it was! I haven’t seen any announcements for the Rotana, but it is indeed open for business. There are signs all over Fehaheel indicating the Rotana Hotel’s whereabouts, but those have been up for months.
And – the Villa Moda signs are back up, indicating they will be opening soon. Interesting. Wonder when “soon” will be?
Last but not least – Al Kout and Al Manshar appear to be related, at least architecturally. Why have they not connected the two with a walking bridge from the top floor? Crossing that road is deadly! And parking in the Al Manshar Mall parking lot is severely limited.
And why so much security? There are security guards everywhere, and they are very very firm (my big smile did not sway them) about NOT taking photos.
The very cool thing about Al Manshar Mall is that there are a lot of small shops; it has a very souk-y feel about it, and they aren’t the shops you find in all the usual (ho hum) malls.
And there is a small but very very busy Chili’s.

nice blog
Yes, Al Manshar & Al Kout are in fact related. Combined with Rotana Al Manshar they’re called Madinat Al Fahaheel! (I know, like they can begin to compare to Medinat Jumeirah 😛 )
Anyway, I love Al Kout. So much different than the rest of the over-gelled teenager-infested Salmiya malls.
Welcome, Kitty, and I like your blog, too. 🙂
Hello, Kinan, and welcome, welcome always. How do you know so much??
*blushes*
Well, I drive under the Madinat Al Fahaheel ad twice a day to/fro work!
