Berkarar is magnificent. Although it was built in 2014 it has a ultra-modern look and everything feels like literally brand new. Architecture is impressive as are the number of shops and facilities. Here shops of international brands can be found as well as plenty of local - more exotic - shops.
All together there are 350 shops and there is a restaurant suitable for large examples able to host 1000 persons.
Food court is specially recommended. Not only variety is huge but prices are amazingly affordable. Besides, some options are of really good quality.
