In the heart of the district, there are shopping and dining areas, as well as a central plaza dominated by an attention-grabbing tower, a focal point of the district.
The central 30-meter tower is inspired by traditional Arab settlements with badgir wind towers, functioning as an art piece with dynamic multi-colored light displays.
