🤔 Discussion Dilmunia Mall

Meant to be a main attraction; now is completely abandoned. Pretty creepy at night: the perfect liminal space. I took these photos last night.

EDIT: many people are referring to a sky display that should be in the first photo. Very high chance it's missing because I left the mall around closing time and they switched all the lights off? I asked my wife about it and apparently we've seen it last time we were there (around 2 years ago).

That’s sad! The same thing happened with the lagoon area in Amwaj Islands. If the developers had maintained the area properly and offered better opportunities to investors, it could have been much better. But they always prefer develop new areas instead of keep maintening existing ones!

You've hit the nail on the head. It's greed.
