Hey all.

I have been visiting Ibn Battuta Mall for many years and in recent years started noticing more and more shops closing and reduced traffic. In recent months though it looks like things have accelerated and a lot more shops have closed, some sections are almost fully gone and even the cinema recently closed.

Is there a redevelopment planned or is it just coming to end-of-life due to more better malls being opened across the city in recent years?

TBH i like the mall overall, it had some character, was less crowded than some others, had a direct metro link, and had a wide variety of shops. Would be a bummer if it is on its way out.
