Baghdad Mall

Baghdad Mall is a large mixed-use commercial complex in Harthiya, Baghdad, positioned at the intersection of Damascus Street and Al-Kindi Street. The development combines a multi-level shopping mall with a hotel, a medical centre and a large purpose-built parking facility. It opened on 28 August 2017 after approximately three years of construction and was presented as part of Baghdad's wider reconstruction and modernization efforts. Iraq's then prime minister, Haider al-Abadi, attended the opening ceremony, giving the project national symbolic significance beyond its function as a retail destination. The shopping component occupies approximately 36,000 square metres across four floors. It contains more than 100 retail outlets, hypermarket facilities, restaurants and cafés, and stores associated with brands including Red Tag, Luvian and LC Waikiki. The broader complex is reported to cover more than 80,000 square metres and includes a 32-floor tower. The hospitality component is the Rayhaan Rotana Hotel, also known locally as Al-Harithiya Tower. Managed by Rotana Hotels, the hotel provides guest rooms and suites, conference facilities and sports amenities. Source descriptions differ on the exact room count, identifying it as either a 241-room or approximately 250-room property; the available material does not establish which figure is definitive. Medical services are provided through the Dublin Health Medical Center, which includes 30 specialized clinics. The complex also incorporates a multi-storey parking structure reported to accommodate about 1,000 vehicles. Its features include valet parking, ticketing and vehicle-location services, parking guidance equipment, adaptive lighting, sensors, LED space indicators, indoor positioning supported by QR codes and mobile-payment capabilities. The parking facility is designed to serve the mall, hotel and medical functions together. Baghdad Mall has also been used as an event venue. In September 2017, Iraqi YouTuber and beauty personality Noor Stars held a fan meeting in the mall's front courtyard. The event was sponsored by cosmetics and beauty-related businesses and included musical and cultural performances. An official Baghdad Mall statement described attendance as exceeding 51,000 people, although the available reference material does not independently verify that figure. The mall's significance rests on its role as a destination complex rather than solely as a shopping centre. By combining retail, dining, hotel accommodation, healthcare and high-capacity parking in one development, it serves several types of visitors and reflects the growth of large-format commercial projects in Baghdad. Publicly available reference material does not identify the mall's owner, developer, founder or corporate parent, and no reliable current information is provided here about its present operating status beyond the fact that it was established as an operating complex.

Baghdad Mall was developed as a large mixed-use project in Harthiya, Baghdad, at the junction of Damascus Street and Al-Kindi Street. Construction took approximately three years, culminating in a public opening on 28 August 2017. The opening was associated with Iraq's post-conflict reconstruction and urban-development agenda, and Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi attended the ceremony. Musical guests included Dalli, Hussam al-Rassam, Diana Karazon and Hussein el-Deik, while Iraqi poet Shahad al-Shamary co-hosted the event. The completed development extends beyond a conventional shopping centre. The mall itself occupies about 36,000 square metres over four floors and contains more than 100 stores, hypermarket facilities, restaurants and cafés. The wider project is described as exceeding 80,000 square metres and includes a 32-floor tower housing the Rayhaan Rotana Hotel. The tower is also known locally as Al-Harithiya Tower. Rotana Hotels manages the hotel, which provides rooms or suites, conference halls and sports facilities. Published descriptions identify the property as having either 241 rooms or approximately 250 rooms, so the exact figure should be treated cautiously. Healthcare is another major component. The Dublin Health Medical Center is described as having 30 specialized clinics, making the complex a destination for medical appointments as well as retail and leisure visits. A dedicated parking building supports the different components of the development. It is reported to accommodate approximately 1,000 vehicles across ten floors and includes valet services, ticketing, vehicle-location assistance and technology intended to help visitors find available spaces. The reported systems include parking guidance, adaptive lighting, sensors, LED indicators, QR-code-enabled indoor positioning and mobile-payment functionality. Shortly after opening, Baghdad Mall was used for a high-profile public appearance by Noor Stars, an Iraqi YouTuber and beauty expert. Her 29 September 2017 fan meeting took place in the front courtyard and included sponsorship from beauty and cosmetics businesses, prize distribution and cultural performances. The mall said that the event drew more than 51,000 attendees, though the available source does not provide independent verification. The reference material identifies Baghdad Mall as one of Baghdad's largest shopping malls and emphasizes its integrated retail, hotel, medical and parking functions. It does not establish the project's developer, owner, founder or corporate parent, nor does it provide a reliable official website or detailed information about subsequent expansion, management changes or financial performance. Accordingly, those fields remain unspecified.
