The Mall of Madinah was conceived as a destination unlike any other retail experience in the region. This 120,000 sqm luxury district establishes a distinctive blend of retail, leisure, and entertainment that sets it apart from conventional global malls. Instead of a closed, monolithic model, the scheme creates a vibrant urban center with walkable, human-scaled spaces enhanced by bespoke shading elements that celebrate the rich local flora of the region. A central spine, inspired by the wadis of the Saudi desert, introduces a water feature that meanders through shaded pathways lined with palms, offering visitors a refreshing and memorable experience of discovery.

​

Complementing the spine, a series of interconnected courtyards introduce intimate lifestyle zones, each with its own character and rhythm. These spaces integrate dining, retail, and cultural moments, fostering opportunities for relaxation, gathering, and exploration. Designed to appeal equally to the local community and international visitors.
