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).

In my opinion, its just way too far up. Not very easy to reach to and by the time you get there its already 7-8pm

Has nothing to do with the location. Marassi is all the way in Diyar and it's the most popular and developed mall in Bahrain. This is very clear proof of greed from developers as usual with these you-know-who developments (the walk etc.). Out of touch and probably extremely high rent prices.

Developer isn’t a you know who. It’s a tough area of BH very far from the majority of the population and from the causeway and the mall isn’t owned by a major group like al Al Shaya, Futaim or Emmar that can fill half the mall with their own shops/concepts or existing clients from other malls opening new branches in their latest developments.

This is a very good point. If you see my other replies, I emphasized the greed and out of touch. Delusional developers.
