The Mall of Dilmunia has been thoughtfully designed with the ambitious goal of becoming a premier destination for families, aiming to unite family members of all ages in a spacious and welcoming environment where they can forge stronger bonds through shared, delightful experiences. This development is meticulously planned to serve as an unparalleled family-centric venue, offering an array of activities tailored to suit the preferences and needs of each family member. Adults can bask in the ambiance of rooftop cafes and savor the diverse culinary delights offered by numerous food and beverage establishments. At the same time, children and teenagers have the opportunity to explore an assortment of recreational and educational entertainment options.

Strategically positioned to afford stunning views of the Dilmunia Grand Canal and the surrounding meticulously landscaped gardens enriched with lush greenery, the Mall of Dilmunia features an impressive total built-up area of approximately 125,000 square meters. This expansive area is judiciously divided into a 47,000 square meter leasable space dedicated to various retail and entertainment establishments, a 47,000 square meter public and circulation area designed to facilitate effortless movement and interaction within the mall, and a 31,000 square meter parking area to accommodate the vehicles of visitors and staff.

Among the flagship entertainment offerings for families at the Mall of Dilmunia is a magnificent 3-story high cylindrical aquarium, which stands as a testament to the mall's commitment to providing unique and engaging experiences. This aquarium, the largest of its kind in Bahrain and reaching a height of 17 meters, showcases a diverse array of aquatic life, visible from every level of the mall. Additional key attractions include:

- Main Atrium: A versatile space comprising 750 areas designated for hosting a variety of events.
- Aquarium: Not only the largest cylindrical aquarium in Bahrain but a marvel that brings the underwater world to life.
- Play Area: A sprawling 2,200 square meter area dedicated to children's entertainment.

- Sports Area: Featuring two indoor mini football pitches for sports enthusiasts.
- Ice Rink: A large, state-of-the-art indoor ice rink measuring 27x27 meters, located on the first floor for ice skating enthusiasts.
