So here we go, read this guest article, and it seems very visible that he like any other Karachite has truly madly deeply fallen in love with my second home: Dolmen Mall Clifton. Enjoy reading…

Most love affairs are mundane. They involve two people with intertwined lives who usually have a happy ending. Little did I know that my happy ending would come at a shopping mall as I fell in love with a shopping festival. If you are wondering that I will say Dubai – then there’s another surprise. The shopping festival happened in Karachi, a city that faces worse traffic situations everyday – but boy was I pleasantly surprised with the vibrancy of the city!!!

I jetted-off to Karachi on a business trip that turned exciting as I dropped by Dolmen Mall Clifton. Located by the resplendent sea, the mall houses some of the biggest international and local brands. Lady luck was surely on my side as I made it just in time for the Dolmen Shopping Festival.

The mall being one of the hottest hangout places draws city folk from all corners. If you stand long enough in the main foyer, you may end up meeting all of Karachi… It was pretty amazing to see so much buzz, and such great discounts on almost every brand.

I loaded up with so much stuff that I ended up paying excess baggage at the airport. The brands that drew me the most were local fashion houses having delectable prints and handbags worth gawking.

Mirroring true international standards, Dolmen Mall houses some remarkable facilities that makes it an ideal place for shoppers and visitors alike. For starters, mothers can tend to their bawling babies at the Mother’s Room while you can find goodies for your loved one on the Cuddle Cart.

And the food is to die for. The mall offers a plethora of eateries that savour scrumptious cuisines from all over the world. From renowned brands to local restaurants, there’s something for everyone. I binged on waffles, and ate some lite snacks from Lals Patisserie for lunch… while opting for Pakistani cuisine from Zaoq at dinner.

The food court is masterfully crafted, with a splash of colour everywhere you see. Every inch of the place shines as the staff keeps it spick throughout the day!

But the mall is a lot more than just shopping and food. It is one of the most community-friendly and public-aware shopping malls that I have ever visited. With a special focus on human dignity, I noticed that the drivers who came to drop their owners had an air-conditioned waiting bay where they could watch TV.

From the looks of it, the mall also supports feminism as it has a special parking area reserved for females. More power to her!!! It serves its visitors with utmost care through the Dolmen Cares Campaign and has a Complaint Center to facilitate customers round the clock.

During special occasions, Dolmen Mall is the most sought after place as it is brimming with entertainment and activity. Major corporations carry out their promotions here and there is a race to have the most creative idea to attract eyeballs.

The mall has a holistic community engagement model which I am sure the others can also replicate. As for me, I gave my heart away to Dolmen Mall because it is an incredible place with a heart of its own.
