Al Hamra Real Estate, the managing entity behind Al Hamra Village, Al Hamra Marina, Al Hamra Golf and Al Hamra Mall, has announced that Al Hamra Mall’s food court and entertainment zone are being completed. Custom-made galvanized steel benches, chairs, planters and bins have been ordered for the common seating arrangements, matching the ethnic style décor and traditional ambience of the mall, to be in place by end of December 2009. Children and teenage entertainment has been in operations at a temporary area, whilst the permanently dedicated zone of 5,000 square feet is being fitted out with the latest state-of-the-art equipment. The options of eating now include the food court, coffee shops and casual dining with a variety of international cuisine.

With new shops continuously being brought on board, Al Hamra Mall will provide a wide range of products and services to cater to anything the UAE resident and visitor might wish for. Al Hamra is expected to be 100% operational with all shops rented out and all facilities fully functioning by the first quarter of 2010.
