Souq Al Madina, the upcoming vibrant retail and commercial centre in the heart of Madinat Sultan Qaboos, recently unveiled its brand identity.

The brand identity was unveiled by Ivor Braganza, CEO of Towell Property and Sabah Hassan, general manager in charge of leasing the development, according to a press release.
Braganza said, 'Souq Al Madina is a unique lifestyle destination that has been developed to recreate the charm of the old souqs that have been part of the Omani culture for centuries. The property incorporates inspired unique features such as the use of Omani stone, traditional wooden doors and lanterns, and sails - all tributes to Oman's rich history and tradition. It's a matter of great pride that Souq Al Madina stands testimony to our roots right at the heart of Madinat Sultan Qaboos.'
Souq Al Madina will form a key part of the redevelopment of Madinat Sultan Qaboos' popular commercial precinct which has been home to a number of premium brands over the years. Built across the East and West wings over two levels of retail and penthouse spaces, Souq Al Madina will bring together high-street fashion brands, aspirational couture, al fresco dining and the convenience of a premium supermarket over more than 13,000sq m of leasable area.
