Sunway Pyramid, Malaysia

Sunway Pyramid is a distinctive retail landmark located in the heart of Bandar Sunway, Petaling Jaya. It was opened in July 1997 as Malaysia's first themed shopping and entertainment mall.

If you are looking for a different shopping experience, this mall is worth visiting. The design of the mall include the Egyptian Pyramid and the lion standing at the entrance to the mall. This mall was recently remodelled and expanded with new outlets and is expected to have more than 800 retail outlets. The new wing was opened in September, 2007 with Jaya Jusco as one of the main tenant, taking 4 floors. Other fashion and lifestyle outlets include Principles, Marks & Spencer, California Fitness, Harvey Norman, Ace Hardware, Lorenzo, Lacoste, Gap and Raoul to name a few. The 10-screen Tanjong Golden Village Cineplex is also located here for your entertainment needs.

Sunway Pyramid is also one of the only shopping malls in Malaysia to have an indoor ice skating rink.

This theme park which is located just beside the shopping mall is a must if you want to have a fun time with your family and friends. Remember to bring extra clothing to change as you will definitely get wet.

The new wing of Sunway Pyramid, called the Pyramid 2 (or P-2) was opened in 2007. It is opened to newer retailers such as Jusco, Giant, Harvey Norman and so on. There is also a new section in P-2 called Marrakesh, derived from the place in Morocco. Expansion of the parking area to nearly 8 floors makes this place popular with tourists, local and foreign alike.
