I hope new shops will be there. Because if it is really that big (8km long!), we will have 8km of the same shops already located in all of the malls in Doha. Why not get new ones from other countries like Shanghai Tang from Hong Kong or a decent Japanese or Chinese restaurant. I hope the choices will be wide and the variety plenty. I think we are all sick of the same Carrefours, Aldos, Applebees, etc. etc. that are always a "standard" in all the malls of Doha. Not that they are bad, there are just too many of them OF THE SAME THING ALREADY. More choices please!
