"Ladies Mall" Complex is designed to provide an opportunity for women to work in commercial, economic and cultural activities, besides supporting entrepreneurs.
Services and activities for women at the mall include a special section for children, a theatre, restaurants, shops and a nursery, along with ATM and electronic payment services, and the services of some government institutions.
While the concept of a mall for ladies is new, Oman has had a traditional souk (market) for ladies in Ibra for many years. The walled ladies' souk is open from 6am to 1pm on Wednesdays.
