Baghdad mansoor mall finished
Don't turn into Americans, Mexicans, Kuwaitis, Qataris etc. when all those malls open, LOOOOOOOOOOOL. Welcome to the mall hell btw. I am glad that KSA still retains all of the old souqs and local markets that the Arab world are so famous for. Let alone Yemen. Don't forget that part too.
Such malls must be limited for the sake of humanity in my humble opinion.
Mosul mall that only sells jewelry
Its happening already, there are already around 7 malls being built in Baghdad with new mall projects every few months, the biggest one finished next year, I hope they do not bring Mcdonalds, KFC all over the place cause the problem in Kuwait, Qatar will reach us aswell by then. Though its the only way to shop in such a hot environment, the country I live in barely has any malls so for me its not a problem since its different.
You mean this kind of souq in Damascus, I been there, I like these ones, not sure if we have this.
Baghdad mansoor mall finished
This mall is filled with Turkish businesses.
Is this the common picture in Iraq?
I mean is the street view filled with Turkish businesses?
Most companies building in Iraq are Turkish companies, also Iraq imports a lot from of products from Turkey like electronics, food, clothing.
Yeah it is true. Malls are good in that department. The summers in Baghdad and Iraq are hot as hell. Only Khuzestan and the Gulf region (Eastern Province, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar) are similar. At least it makes the youth and people enjoy certain things that they did not know. I mean different kind of shops, food, clothes etc. You know all this most people are so obsessed about today.
LOL, all that will come. Just by another name. Besides all people from the region like to eat a lot and good food. As long as the food is cheap as hell people will eat much. Especially if the country prospers and people get more money to spend.
So there are no malls in Netherlands? Actually when I was in Amsterdam I did not see any malls but what I saw was many of those drug bars/hash bars and Berbers trying to sell drugs to people. That part of Amsterdam was rather unpleasant.
Yes, the Damascus one is world famous. We have a lot of smaller ones though depending on the city and region. Yemen too. There is actually a giant one in Cairo (old part of the town) too that I have seen. There are also such ones in Iraq although smaller. I was also just talking about local markets overall. They have a certain aura about them that I like. Smells you recognize, the bargaining, traditions etc. With all respect to malls today then they all look the same. Malls are fine just don't built too many of them. This is my humble opinion. Some will probably disagree.
@al-Hasani
Hahahaha, that's Amsterdam allright. Be glad you didn't find yourself in the red light district
What were you doing in the Netherlands?
@al-Hasani
Yeah I knew that there were bilateral trade and stuff.
But I didn't expect it to go down to even small shops.
I counted 3 Turkish businesses in those pictures.
There are only a few which I would call real malls in Rotterdam, for the rest a usual mall consists of only 1 floor which is the same as the ground level. Nothing special really, not as a mall in the ME which is high valued, all shops here are in the streets.
Amsterdam city center has a few shopping streets, though its filled with those things you named, in every shop you find the same, not my fav city actually, never liked it.
Its better if they start their own corporations instead of bringins Mc and KFC, but we all prefer those 2 anyway since we got used to it.
