This is a pretty big facility that is clearly visible on the right hand side of the road on your journey from West Bay out to the Pearl area. They often hold conferences and exhibitions there as well as shopping opportunities.
We have been there a couple of times but been a bit disappointed. The car park is not big enough for popular events so that you find yourself parked on rough ground if you are not early.
We visited the Book Fair but this was mainly Arabic books and the few English books were not really of much interest to me. Also, Shop the World was a bit of a disappointment too, the world seemed to mean the Middle East and China. And I did not want to buy any honey.
Has a nice Costa Coffee though, worth popping in when there is no event on as parking is very easy and it is not too crowded either.
Best to make one visit and make up your own mind.
