From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mecca Mall is a shopping center on Mecca Street in West Amman, Jordan. It houses international brand clothing and fashion stores, restaurants, cafes, a supermarket, cinemas, a fitness centre, the Jordan International Exhibition Centre (JIEC), and other entertainment facilities including a bowling alley, a children's play area, and an ice rink.[1][2][3][4][5]
Jordan-based Kurdi Group opened the first two shopping malls in Amman, Abdoun Mall in 2001 followed by the larger Mecca Mall in 2003.[2][3][4] An extension of Mecca Mall was completed in 2006, expanding it to a total area of 195,000 square metres (2,100,000 sq ft).[2][4] In its early years, the mall was known as the "Baghdad Mall" or the "Iraqi Embassy" because of the number of Iraqis who had fled the 2003 invasion who shopped there.[2][6]
