360 Mall is a luxury shopping mall in Al Zahra area, Kuwait. It can be reached by using the sixth ring road.[1] It is the third biggest mall in Kuwait.

The 360Mall derives its name from its circular structure, which was due in part to the rigorous zoning restrictions. It is located in one of Kuwaitas fastest growing residential areas. It is influenced by Middle Eastern architecture, featuring hand-blown glass sculptures by Dale Chihuly, along with a Solar Garden with 21,000 plants growing on a vertical wall intended to help improve air quality and act as a natural bio-filter. Other features include a water feature, an organically shaped skylight in the Main Atrium, and sculptured landscaping on the outside of the building.[2]

The mall includes the first Géant Casino hypermarket in Kuwait, a Marks & Spencer department store, and leisure and entertainment areas.

The project was designed by RTKL Associates, and developed by the Tamdeen Group.[3]
