Villagio Mall, Doha

I happen to enjoy an arch marvel and a great shopping experience, here in doha...a piece of real creativity
Sharing with you some pics of this mall...

The canal through the mall, and painted clouds above with shops of all high end brands on both sides....
 
An indoor canal with painted clouds above :)

  
Boats for a drive through the canal and the mall.

  

  

 
Restaurants on the side, and over the bridge...


The beautiful archs above the showrooms, which gives it an arabic look...

 

  

  

 

The royal area...

Its a separate area with very high end brands like Valentino, Cartier, Burberry and amazing sport and luxury cars on display...

 


The Ceilings...

 
 Sun hiding in the clouds

 
The rainbow...


One of the low ceiling, above M&S showroom..
 
What symmetry!!!


 
Shows real sky above the ceiling...

Royal area, with royal ceiling...

 
Beautiful carving...

Skiing area and the cafes...
This huge skiing area is full of people of all ages in the evenings. 
Its a pleasure to watch them


Loved this work on glass...

Villagio mall is a perfect blend of modern and arabic architecture. Along with providing all amenities under one roof, it also provides an amazing shopping experience :)
Let me know if you like it?

  3. Awesome ...
    If the pics are this good, I can't imagine how good actual place is ... Really Really creative ...

    thanks tanu ...

    P.S. I think the first photo is indoor(meaning the clouds above the river are painted). If so then you should have mentioned that in BOLD. I wouldn't have noticed if not for your description beforehand.
