The Gaza Mall (Arabic: مركز غزة للتسويق) is Gaza’s first shopping mall.[1] It opened in Gaza City, State of Palestine, on the 17th of July 2010. It is the first mall that has been opened since the 2007 Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip.[2]
The air-conditioned, indoor shopping venue in the Rimal neighborhood of Gaza extends over 19,000 sq. ft. There are two floors with shops offering international brands.[1] The Independent reported that the mall was built at a cost of $1.5 million,[3] while Agence France-Presse reported $3 million.[4] It is currently closed due to the war on the Gaza Strip.
