The event showcased exciting developments, solidifying the mall's status as a premier shopping destination in Oman. Muscat Grand Mall opened its doors in March 2012 with its Phase 1 zone, which included the MGM shopping mall, Tilal offices, and Tilal residences. Since then, the establishment has expanded its assets through the addition of more retail shops, offices, and residential flats in its Phase 3 zone in 2017. Today, MGM boasts approximately 150+ brands, multiple offices, and 379 residential units. Conveniently located in the heart of the capital, Muscat Grand Mall is the largest mixed-use property in the city, featuring easy access from all corners of the city. The mall is surrounded by vibrant attractions, including the luxurious Millennium Hotel, the Tilal Residential Area, and Tilal Office Spaces. The press event was attended by key stakeholders, partners, and media representatives, who were introduced to the mall's innovative upgrades and new retail arrivals. Among the highlights was the partnership with 'Seraj,' which introduced state-of-the-art LED screens that enhance outdoor advertising. This upgrade not only modernizes the visual landscape of the mall but also provides dynamic advertising opportunities, ensuring that visitors are engaged and informed. Additionally, attendees were introduced to a new parking management system developed in collaboration with 'Hayak.' This cutting-edge solution is designed to improve traffic flow and create a seamless parking experience for all our visitors, making visits to Muscat Grand Mall more convenient than ever. The event also celebrated the arrival of several new tenants that will enrich the mall's diverse offerings. Visitors can explore soon Bint Meknes, which offers exquisite Moroccan perfumes and soaps; Mambo Zanzibar, featuring Zanzibar cuisine in a vibrant food court setting; and authentic Bukhari, a delightful spot for Afghani culinary experiences.
