Giza, Egypt
Mall of Egypt
The vision of Majid Al Futtaim Properties Egypt was to create a luxurious regional shopping center that will not only dominate 6th of October City, but Giza as a whole. The nearly 2 million square feet of shopping and leisure complex contains more than 1.5 million square feet of leasable retail space along with the potential for several long-term retail development projects. Several large-scale tenants include a movie theater, a hypermarket grocery store, an amusement park, and an indoor ski slope. Beneath the building, a ventilated undercroft area provides delivery trucks with access for unloading and delivering products to retail stores.
