النور مول

This guide to Al Noor Mall in Medina starts at a perfume counter, where a thumb-sized bottle sits behind glass guarded like jewelry, its price tag for oud running into the hundreds of riyals. It explains why fragrance carries unusual weight in this, the largest shopping center in Madinah, and follows the mall floor by floor, past a Bateel dates counter, an entire level of abayas and thobes with prayer mats and tasbeeh beads, and a crowded food court above. Along the way you'll hear about the more than four hundred stores packed six kilometers from the Prophet's Mosque. Listen for what keeps pulling visitors back toward that one glass case.
