Majidi Land is an integrated retail and entertainment complex situated in the northwestern part of Erbil, which opened its doors in 2009. The center covers a built-up area of 130,000 square meters, combining a shopping mall with an indoor amusement park. The main objective during design was to create a year-round recreational facility that could operate independently of the high summer temperatures typical in northern Iraq. The indoor park provides 25 rides, including a roller coaster integrated directly into the building, bumper cars, and a vast area featuring arcade games. The shopping center houses 85 local and international brand stores, alongside a food court boasting 15 different dining establishments. The building also features an underground parking garage capable of accommodating 1,200 vehicles. This project represented one of the first large-scale private investments in the region's entertainment sector post-2003.
