hmmmmmmmm
Why all these branches in Kuwait? I thought its a luxury brand should be in few places not every where arround Kuwait?
What a waste of luxury image
I guess burberry is doing good
Salhiya? I would never go there, it is a guetto mall. They need to put it in Avenues 3 with the rest of the high end line-up in that mall. Who would even go to Kuwait City?
What? Come on, Salhiya is a great place. How could you even start pushing for Phase III when it hasn’t even launched yet. That’s like saying the iPhone 5 sucks.
Kuwait City is rundown and you have to mull through so much trash it is not worth the effort. Seriously, I would travel to Dubai to buy Burberry, rather than go to this mall. Even the parking lot feels like it is going to collapse on your head. KC could be a beautiful place with better city planning, but the government doesn’t seem to care about it’s capitol.
No wonder you’ve had a bad experience, you’re parking in the old rundown Anwaar carpark next to Salhiya. The Salhiya parking lot is the new underground parking to the right of the valet people. The one that has the fountain and all the cafes around it.
This is off the subject area, but you ran that Salmiya project twice in your blog and if they did city planning in Salmiya by connecting the projects by coordinating the architecture, it would benefit the city. I think the area where this developer want to do his project would fare better with like a ‘Citywalk’ type of project, closed to traffic where people would only be able to walk with cute shops, entertainment facilities. There are US developers, such as the developers from Vegas like the Sands Hotels that would be able to do project like this similar to the ones in Singapore. Kuwait needs to look to Singapore more for direction. Google Citywalk in LA, Orlando, Sentosa Island, Singapore. Just sayin’.

Big spender. Lol.
Parts of the Fahed Al salem street all the way to Salhiya has been neglected and is in long overdue for a touch up…but the salhiya area is one of the nicest areas..the old run down city backdrop kind of has its own charm to it.
@ImeKuwait – There are beautiful, charming buildings in Kuwait city waiting for a historical commitee to renovate them. There really are quite a few. It would dramatically give the city some charm if they did that and because it is so small, I wonder why it hasn’t been kept up. I know WHO should be involved in this, hmmmmmm.
I second Mark. Salhiya is by far the most elegant and classy of all shopping places to visit in Kuwait and beyond. I remember how besotted the King and Queen of Spain were visiting the place, on their maiden visit of Kuwait in the early 80s. As Mark rightly points out Salhiya is in a class of its own unparalleled by any luxury centre development especially, in Kuwait. It is quite insulting to the image of Salhiya drawing parallels with other mall developments, per se. And remember Salhiya in all its pristine glory has been knocking about since 1979 back when Dubai was still a fishing village belonging to the pirates. Does anyone remember the time when Al Ajami- the Libanese place used to be open for lunch and dinner in Salhiya?? Golly! what a luxurious time that was in the history of Kuwait. That’s before we had the 2 month long power outtage in the summer of 1980.
@ shopper: On second thoughts, Salhiya centre together with the underground parking, the plaza in front of it and the area in and around Al Jarra Flowers is rather spiffy.
I was too young to remember ajami when it was in salhiya but I do remember it when it was in salmiya and they had the best shawerma ever. EVER.
Yesterday i was in Salheya and saw it then i was thinking humm was that there before :/
