Capital Mall
Tucked in a quiet quarter of Seef, Capital Mall showcases an array of handmade products by local indigenous families. Formed under the Ministry of Social Development, all proceeds from the sale of these goods go towards the families who manufactured them.

On offer is an assorted mix of wooden household accessories, traditional garments, perfumes, foodstuff and stationery items. With a number of unique curios on offer, this is the ideal place to pick up unusual gifts for loved ones or to visit if you have friends over from out of town.

Open from 9am to 1pm and 4pm to 10pm, Capital Mall exudes an aura of going back in time to the heart of the island’s roots.
For information, call 17 582-169.

Country Mall
A new addition to the scene, the Country Mall in Budaiya is far enough from the bustle of downtown Bahrain to make it a popular hangout for local residents. Housing more than 70 shops, the mall is gradually securing a critical mass with space for additional outlets starting to dwindle.

Comprising a 24-hour supermarket, food court and coffee shops, it is also home to telecom giants Batelco and Mena Telecom, as well as travel agencies and banks.

Open from 10am to 10pm, Country Mall presents the ideal place relax with a cup of java and a good book in the Costa Coffee’s outdoor seating area when the weather is less intense.
For information, call 17 592-250.

Dana Mall
Up until last year, it was pretty obvious that all Dana Mall had going for it was the Dana Cinema (only if tickets were sold-out at Seef) and ok, maybe the Chakazoolu Exotic Jungle indoor theme park (whose short-lived appeal is already fast diminishing with the arrival of Adhari!). Enter the Lulu hypermarket and viola! — instant success.

In all fairness however, other outlets at the mall worth mentioning are Shoe Doctor, I Quit Smoking, Laundry Express, Kodak International Holidays, Haagen-Dazs and Teatro. Open from 10am past midnight, it is heartening to see that Dana Mall is gaining some more traction in the local marketplace.
For information, call 17 558-500.

Marina Mall
Closer to home Marina Mall is the home of the ARG retail outlets. With stores the likes of Splash, Shoe Mart, G2000, Lifestyle, The Home Centre, Mothercare, Max, Bossini and Lee Cooper, it is evident that the merchandise on offer ranges from the more affordable to slightly above average. Big on customer fidelity, regular shoppers can be a part of the Centrepoint Loyalty Privilege Club, which awards members points on every purchase made throughout the year, reason enough to keep returning for more.

The upstairs food court serves a variety of meals from junk food to healthier options and is flanked by Magic Island for the kids. Open from 10am to 10pm, Marina Mall is great when faced with a fashion emergency and in need of a quick fix without the hassle of running around acres of retail grazing grounds.
For information, call 564-005.

Moda Mall
Swanky to a flaw, Moda Mall will no doubt prove to be a notch up from the aforementioned diva, A’ali. In a similar vein, this precinct flaunts ritzy clothing, accessories, bags, scarfs, jewellery, watches and lingerie. Anchored by Villa Moda, the Kuwait-based top luxury fashion retailer, a plethora of infamous brand names will make their debut here in Bahrain. Not to drop names, but keep an eye out for Agent Provocateur, Dolce & Gabbana, Emporio Armani, Fendi, Gucci, Hermes, Kenzo, Versace and so many more.

And for girls who like their glamour let us have a round of applause for Chopard, De Beers, Tiffany & Co., Chanel Jewellery and Van Cleef & Arpels among others.

To keep the men busy while their women are out exercising the bank account is an assortment of gourmet dining selections and quaint cafes that are guaranteed to do the trick

Open from 10am to 1pm and 4pm to 10pm, Moda Mall boasts a multi-storey parking space with more than enough room for your Bentley.
For information, call 17 540-330.

Riffa Mall
The mall is positioned to serve the people of Riffa and the surrounding area. Here you can find well known brands such as Splash, Shoe Mart and Lifestyle, in addition to a few less well-known ones. Open from 10am to 12:30pm and 4:30pm to 10pm, Riffa Mall is just what the doctor ordered if you don’t want to travel up north to do your shopping.
For information, call 17 564-005.

Seef Mall
With a gamut of stores, the most popular that come to mind being Plug-Ins, Sephora, Jashanmal Bookshops, Euphoria, Asia Jewellers, Monsoon and so on, the mall does virtually stock anything under the sun. You name it, and they’ve most probably got it.

Over and above this call of duty, other noteworthy facilities include two Cineplex’s, two food courts, Magic Island, Maya Chocolate, Paul café, Fire of Brazil and Frangipani.

Open from 10am to 10pm, Seef Mall is popular over the weekend and one can only imagine what to expect with the imminent arrival of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts — yes, finally a decent doughnut in Bahrain to indulge ourselves!
For information, call 17 582-888.

The Centre
Looking for something out of the ordinary? Then The Centre in Nwaidrat is the place to be. With popular brands like Bhs, Shoe City, Mango, Accesorize, Pumpkin Patch, THM, Adams and more, this place is sure to meet your fashion requirements. For a more domestic chore head to the Jawad Supermarket or one of the food and beverage outlets if you want a spot of something to eat.

With more than enough parking space, a pharmacy and ATM machines, shopping here is as convenient as it is entertaining.

Open from 10am to 10pm on weekdays and 11pm on weekends.
For information, call 17 700-123.

Yateem Centre
A supermarket with heart, many a long-time resident in Bahrain will no doubt have fond memories of the Yateem Centre which was among the first on the island. Situated at the heart of the Manama souq, it offers shoppers a genuine shopping experience without the frills of most modern day malls.

The centre houses a number of retail outlets, coffee shops and a food court. Products here have a more local flair about them having over the years soaked in the flavour of its old-world surroundings.

Keeping the kids enthralled while you shop are exciting rides and there are ample basement parking spaces for shoppers.

Open from 9:30am to 1pm and 3:30pm to 9pm, Yateem Centre delivers on its promise of giving you a taste of home.
