Before the megamalls, these places ruled the scene.

Old Salmiya Souq

Packed with toy shops, snack stands, and flashing signs, this souq was the place to be. The maze-like layout made it feel like an adventure every time.

Al-Muthanna Complex

Famous for its escalators and gold shops, Al-Muthanna was once one of the fanciest places in town. Over time, it quietly faded into memory.

Souq Sharq (Early 2000s)

Before The Avenues stole the spotlight, Souq Sharq was *the* waterfront mall. Its fountain, boat marina, and quiet upstairs arcade gave it a special charm.
