Madinat Al Fahaheel is regarded as a fully integrated and diverse project that incorporates the Fahaheel waterfront – Al Kout, and Al Manshar towers (which includes Al Manshar shopping center and other towers for housing and office use), Al Manshar Rotana five star Hotel, and a multi-storey car parking building that will be built later on. The Fahaheel waterfront – Al Kout has become a landmark in Kuwait, where the facade is a development of sensitive marine environment and an expansion to local culture. The redevelopment of the Al Manshar towers has increased the commercial area for the market, which was originally built during the 1970s. It is now regarded as one of the most important destinations for shopping, entertainment and housing while having first-class hotel services being provided by Al Manshar Rotana Hotel.
