The Avenues Bahrain is a waterfront shopping and leisure destination on Bahrain Bay in Manama. Opened in 2017, it takes its cue from The Avenues in Kuwait, with a long, climate-controlled interior designed to feel more like a walkable boulevard than a conventional enclosed mall.
International shops sit alongside regional brands, cafés and restaurants, but the setting is the real draw. A waterside promenade offers views across the bay and Manama skyline, making the mall as useful for an evening stroll or a meal with a view as it is for shopping. Its development also reflects Bahrain’s changing waterfront, where new public-facing leisure spaces have become part of the city’s appeal.
Come towards sunset for softer light and a more comfortable walk outside. Evenings and weekends can be busy, especially around restaurants, so allow extra time for parking or book ahead if you have a particular table in mind. Check the mall’s website for current opening hours, as individual shops and restaurants may keep different schedules.
