[The Avenues | Manama, Bahrain “330m of urban living street stretching to the seafront”]

— Manama's waterfront mall opened in 2017. More than 130 shops and cafes are lined up under a transparent ceiling, creating a mysterious space that makes you feel like you're walking “outside” even though you're indoors—

The mall stretches 1.5km along the Bay of Bahrain and features a one-story promenade that connects to the sea. Natural light pours into the transparent dome, and as the guide says, “Grand Avenue” has the atmosphere of a high-end shopping street overseas .
