Oman-based Al Raid Group, a leader in quality lifestyle projects, has recently launched work on the 240,000-sq-m Al Araimi Walk in Barka.

The iconic development project, which will set a new benchmark as the nation’s first ever retailtainment destination, will feature 164 retail outlets, 42 food and beverage outlets, seven entertainment hubs, a hypermarket, and an IMAX cinema.

Apart from offering shopping and family-oriented experiences, other highlights of the mall include: an indoor waterpark, trampoline park, snow village, ice-skating rink, virtual reality zone, and cliff climbing adventure facility. Al Araimi Walk will open its doors by September 2020.

Raid Abdullah Al Araimi, vice chairman of Al Raid Group, said:“Having a sprawling tree-lined promenade, a high-tech digital park, gourmet restaurants, world-class designer brands and a lot more, each and every aspect of Al Araimi Walk will exemplify and reflect the essence of refined taste, and the innovative spirit of the Al Raid Group.”

“Through the launch of Al Araimi Walk, it is our endeavour to become the nation’s number one destination for families, tourists and shoppers; where they can spend joyful moments exploring retail outlets, gathering at a wide selection of cafés and restaurants; and enjoying the several entertainment attractions that will be a part of our magnum opus property. That’s not all – through Al Araimi Walk, it is our goal to offer retailers the choice of selecting a strategic partner who will bring them ‘closer to the consumer’,” he added.
