Al-Andalusia Mall

Al-Andalusia Mall was developed as a 3,000-square-meter shopping complex in Gaza City. Construction began in August 2010, and the mall opened in July 2011. The project was reported to have cost approximately $4 million and was organized into 14 departments. Its program combined conventional retail with services intended to make the site a broader leisure destination, including a cinema, restaurants, a supermarket, and a swimming pool. At opening, Al-Andalusia Mall was identified as Gaza City’s second indoor mall and as the largest mall in the Gaza Strip at that time. Gaza Mall had opened in July 2010 and therefore held the distinction of being the territory’s first shopping mall. The later opening of Capital Mall in 2017 altered the competitive and symbolic position of Al-Andalusia Mall; Capital Mall was described as Gaza’s largest mall as of 2017. Available reference material provides only limited information about the mall after its opening and does not document its ownership structure, leadership, expansions, closures, renovations, or current condition. No reliable current operating status is established in the supplied sources.
