The new Zara store, spanning over 27,500 sqft, will showcase its signature range of womenswear, menswear, kids wear and accessories. The store will be a notable addition to Manar Mall, which was recently upgraded with an investment of the $125 million to enhance the shopping and leisure experience of visitors.
“We are pleased to open Zara’s first store in Ras Al Khaimah,” said Al Shamsi. “This is a strategic move that will further enhance Ras Al Khaimah’s lifestyle shopping experiences with Manar Mall serving as an ideal destination for the store. As one of the most admired high street fashion brands, Zara enjoys phenomenal popularity among the trendsetters, and the new store will offer easy access to more customers, especially in the Northern Emirates.”
