The Avenues

Manama, Bahrain

---

The Avenues in Manama, Bahrain, is a large waterfront shopping and leisure complex stretching about 1.5 kilometers along Bahrain Bay on King Faisal Corniche, in the heart of the capital city. Opening in 2017, it covers roughly 273,000 square meters overall, with tens of thousands of square meters allocated to retail, dining, and entertainment, hosting around 130 stores and a wide mix of local and international brands. The mall features a long seafront promenade, many restaurants and cafés with bay views, a big cinema complex, arcades, children’s play areas, a public park, jogging paths, and an ice‑skating rink added through expansion, making it one of the kingdom’s top destinations for shopping and family outings. A distinctive feature is the covered‑street‑like design that lets in sunlight while shielding visitors from heat, plus small water‑taxi rides on the bay that have become a popular attraction for visitors to the area.
