A really nice mall located next to a marina. It is a good place to stroll around, shop, and get some food. Beaches are nearby along with the fish market. The thermometer in the center of the mall is really interesting to look at.

Souk Sharq is a good shopping center, with a variety of restaurants and shops. The Sultan Center supermarket has a good variety of foods.

This is a mall with nice outlets and good food. Its uniqueness is the Marina next to it, the beach is next to it as well. There is a very nice large fish market close by as well. They have a nice Sultan centre.

I went to this mall to see the cinema and enjoyed that very much. Cinestatic is very managed, clean, and the seats are very comfortable. The shopping mall has all the general things you would need and lots of shop attendants are around to help you.

A really boring mall, not even an architectural wonder like some malls in the middle east. Although the food courtyard had a mix of western fast food joints and a couple of middle eastern establishments which we chose and had fantastic food there. Choose another mall if you want something more impressive.

Souk Sharq is a nice small shopping area. It is much nicer fron the outside. There is a beautiful view from the walkway on the sea, and benches to relax on. Inside, there are some nice shops, and food venues. I've made a purchase or two at one of the Watch stores there, very professional staff there. It's just set... More

I did not travel all the way to Kuwait to find the same shops I have at home! The better shopping malls are in Salmiya district. That said, the architecture of Souk Sharq is very pleasing to the eye as is the view across the marina towards the city skyline.
