I passed by KIPCO Tower (formally known as United Tower) which is located on the same street as Al Hamra Tower and Arraya. The tower looks pretty cool and the mall inside although not big is very bright and nicely designed. It’s not officially open yet but I did walk around just to see what kind of shops are opening up there and I’ve put together a list which you can see below. Majority of them seem to be restaurants: Upper Crust Pizza MEZO (a cafe or restaurant) Cafe November Dijon (a restaurant) Bubbleology Tea (UK franchise) Alpha Wellness (some kind of spa I’m guessing) Johnny Rockets KFH With three malls on that short strip it’s starting to look like Salmiya… which I don’t mind of course. The tower was originally supposed to have residential space but I’m not sure if that happened.
