The wait for the opening of one of the most luxurious shopping malls in Kuwait, Al Hamra Mall, is over. Today I was invited by Al Hamra team for an entertaining stroll around the mall. Buckle up!
Standing at 414 meters high, Al Hamra represents the tallest building in Kuwait and 2nd tallest in the Gulf with 80 floors. The name, Al Hamra is the name for the 1st cinema in Kuwait which was at same location.
The shopping mall (24,000 Sq. Meter) is part of the Luxury Center that also includes a Wellness & SPA, Roof Garden, IMAX Cinema (Grand Cinemas), Restaurants, GYM, and Cafe’s.
As I stepped into the mall, I was fascinated with with quality finishing materials, spacious floors, and the sky-light roof design.
The mall contained a mix of high-end retail shops, restaurants, cafes, food courts, cinema and entertainment areas, spread across five levels with a large LED screen in the center.
The fashion stores that I came across were: Hermès, Yves Saint Laurent, Harry Winstone, Bottega Veneta, Carolina Herrera, Mont Blanc, Officine Panerai, Chanel, Kate Spade, Behbahani luxury,Vera Wang, Shoebox, L’ Argentina, Samsonite, Mouawad Jewelry, Al Jazeera perfumes, Korloff, Eden Park, Beidoun among others.
Some of the restaurants & sweet shops: Chocolate Bar, French Le Relais de l’Entrecote, Yoforia frozen yogurt, Elevation Burger, Melenzane and others.
Did I mention that there will be Versace Cafe, Cioccolate Italiani, Gucci cafe, Le Sushi Bar, and BiCERistorante? The cafe’s will have an indoor seating area plus an outdoor seating with an interactive fountain
I also noticed sportswear shops like Puma, Adidas, and Reebok. In the upper floor there are 9 IMAX V.I.P theaters for a new cinema company, Grand Cinemas, that will open this summer.
Other things I saw were a branch for Zain and NBK, and Multi Storey Car-Park with capacity of 2000 cars. The mall will softly open tomorrow for the public but most of the stores will open later this month.
I have taken many shots and wish you enjoy them.

Loved the mall and loved your review guys! welldone
Wallah what a big waste… they spent all that money to get an award winning tower, but they didn’t bother to spend more on a decent design instead of the same old boring lighting and marble that you see in many commercial buildings. I mean even discovery channel made a documentary about it when it was being built, and how the tower shape was so environmental and responds to the sun angle to minimize the heat. And a yet a another dull attempt to make a typical (glamorous~ kashkha) building from the 90′s. Some mentalities won’t change in this country as long as they use the wrong foreigner from another (brother) Arabic country to design for them. Go and check dubai and try to see the difference. They are what they are because they always look for uniqueness and they won’t hesitate to use American or british architect, designer at least someone who graduate from a repetitive uni abroad, even if they wanted to make for example Islamic or Arabian design. All I’m saying stop being cheap skates on things that will benefit the country.
Sami, this building was built by the world renowned American architectectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill!
Also Gelatissimo is going to open ,,, and another Brazilian Steak restaurant called Cuts
Thanks Ramez
