REVIEW 

Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall is the first thematic mall in the country with Egyptian inspired architectural design alongside with four themed precincts; Asian Avenue, Oasis Boulevard, Fashion Central and Marrakesh. 

Since its opening in 1997, Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall serves as a one-stop destination featuring a wide variety of dining, fashion, specialty offerings and entertainment including a 12-screen Cineplex, ice-skating rink, bowling alley and convention centre amongst others. 

Pyramid Tower Hotel


The mall is well positioned within Sunway Resort City with direct links to Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa, Pyramid Tower Hotel and Sunway Lagoon Theme Park, with universities, office and a medical centre close by.

The uniquely themed mall offers a rich shopping experience, combining a “one-stop” retail concept of fashion, entertainment, dining and specialty offerings. Attracted more than 34 million visitors annually, the mall is well positioned to appeal to both local shoppers and tourists.



  Marrakesh

An oasis of wonder and tranquility awaits fellow shoppers in the mesmerizing shopping precinct of Marrakesh. Here within this uniques Moroccan enclave, lies a treasure trove inspired by the exotic bazaars and 'souks' of Marrakech, Morrocco. Every turn, every corner and every nook offers a myriad of offerings. There are unique stalls along the street selling gifts and souvenirs.


A shop caught our eyes, Kamelah Tobacco House is a men gift shop. They are selling E-Hookah, cigars, tobacco and pipes.

Asian Avenue

We dropped by Asian Avenue located at the first floor of Sunway Pyramid’s new wing, a spot targeting youth and and folks. Tired of eating out at bistros and typical eateries, some street food and snacks may draw your attention.

K-Street offers Korean style dishes that you can eat with satisfy in cheaper price.

 There are also variety choice of other cuisines such as, Japan, Taiwan and Western food.


FASHION!!!
Totally a girl's paradise!

 If you love shopping for clothes and can't be bothered about whether the clothes you buy are branded, Asian Avenue is the place to shop at! The clothes are reasonably priced and the clothes sold in Asian Avenue are very similar to the branded ones. ( H&M, Forever 21, Topshop)
