Building on the urban regeneration model, Souq7 brings the concept of popular souqs to international heights. Poised as the largest lifestyle retail complex in KSA with a unique open market design, Souq7 offers an exceptional shopping experience in the heart of Jeddah.
BLENDING HERITAGE WITH CONVENIENT SHOPPING IN A MODERN SETUP
Souq7 celebrates Saudi legacy and culture in an entirely reimagined souq setup. It reflects modernity and innovation in line with Vision 2030, while also embracing the Middle East’s originality, stimulating the senses and inciting a sense of discovery. Historically, Souq7 was a famous destination for shoppers looking for value products at affordable prices. Boasting a modern infrastructure and an impressive line-up of local and international brands in both the retail and wholesale categories, the renovated compound will offer a transformed shopping journey that ensures a pleasant experience for both tenants and visitors.
AN ALL-ENCOMPASSING ZONING SYSTEM
Following the “one-stop-shop” motto where shoppers can find anything and everything they want under one roof, Souq7 will be divided into 7 main zones coming together in a beautiful mosaic that forms an all-encompassing lifestyle and retail space. These zones are: The Food Stuff Zone - with food markets classified by food category – such as dates, meats, herbs, spices, and others - to provide an ultra-organized and seamless shopping experience. The Family Entertainment Zone - which makes up for almost half of the project. It has a Traditional Market with various bazaars, popular shops and gold markets. It also comprises an Entertainment Zone including a state-of-the-art 10-screen cinema complex, a variety of edutainment and entertainment centers, restaurants, cafes, and more. Finally, the section counts a Fashion Zone with a wide-ranging array of fashion, accessories, jewelry, and cosmetics brands. An Electronics Zone - bringing major electronic retailers together to showcase the latest technologies in home and office appliances, smart phones, tablets, and more. A Furniture & Home Supplies Zone - with a great choice of showrooms selling furniture, home accessories, draperies, upholstery, kitchen cabinets and accessories, and other products. A Building Material Zone - with all building material shops gathered up in one area for easier browsing. An Automotive Zone - set to be one of the largest Auto Park in the Makkah Region with car dealers, accessories shops, as well as detailing and spare parts centers. A Multi-Use Zone - also called Wellness Zone, offering a multipurpose space dedicated to health and fitness activities, banquet halls, and conferences.
