Al Ghurair City, which pioneered the shopping mall concept in the Middle East, has won the Best Retail Development in the UAE 2006 award from the London-based Islamic Conferences Group for its extensive refurbishment, retail development and expansion program that maintained the mall’s traditional Arabic look and feel while creating a modern setting to embrace shoppers from around the world.
The trademark new look of Al Ghurair City shopping mall in Dubai combines the best of Arabic culture and tradition with a vibrant and modern design that has been incorporated into the retail mall, the external streetscape, across the offices and residential area of the complex. Complementing its new look, the mall has also revealed a range of new facilities, including a new indoor multi-storey car park, all of which are designed to meet the needs of the modern shopper.
The complementary floor design is based on 22 tonnes of Terrazzo featuring a nature theme in an array of colours and motifs. All retail outlets in Al Ghurair City feature wall-to-wall glass facades for maximum visibility of their merchandise for consumers and the newly refurbished Food Court is designed to integrate the theme of UAE’s rich marine heritage featuring turtles, shells and foliage from the seabed.
