Ibn Battuta Mall

This Ibn Battuta Mall is ard 10-15 min drive from the PC yard... a very big mall again...

The architectural inspiration behind the distinctive design of the shopping mall is based around the travels of renowned 14th century explorer, Ibn Battuta, a man who travelled over 75,000 miles during his lifetime. The mall will be segmented into six distinct architectural zones, representing key destinations visited by Ibn Battuta.The six courts are comprised of the Andalusian Court, the Tunisian Court, the Egyptian Court, the Persian Court, the Indian Court and the Chinese Court. The architecture within the Mall’s six main courts is a reflection of the most influential places Ibn Battuta travelled during his time, allowing visitors an invaluable glimpse into the past.
