Frequently Asked Questions
How much free parking is there at the Mega Or mall in Ariel?
The Mega Or Rami Levy mall, located at the entrance to Ariel, offers 700 free parking spaces — a significant number that makes it highly accessible to a wide public. The mall itself spans 11,700 sq. m. of retail space and also includes a 7-floor business center. It is built to serve not only Ariel residents but also roughly 60,000 residents of the wider area plus around 16,000 university students — meaning a target audience considerably larger than the city's own population. The free parking is one of the reasons the mall has become the region's central shopping anchor.
How many malls are there in Ariel?
Ariel has two main malls. The first, Mega Or Rami Levy, is located at the entrance to the city and spans 11,700 sq. m. with 700 free parking spaces and a 7-floor business center. The second, Ariel Center, is located next to Ariel University and mainly serves the large student population studying in the city. Beyond the two malls, the city has four additional commercial centers, with about 80 different businesses in total. This combination of two large anchors and several smaller centers gives Ariel residents diverse shopping options without having to leave the city.
How big is the Mega Or Rami Levy mall in Ariel?
The Mega Or Rami Levy mall, located at the entrance to Ariel, spans 11,700 sq. m. of retail space — a significant size in itself — and also includes a separate 7-floor business center. Alongside that, the mall has 700 free parking spaces, which allow convenient access even for those coming from farther away. This size isn't accidental: the mall is built to serve roughly 60,000 residents of the wider area, beyond Ariel's own residents, plus around 16,000 university students. In other words, it functions as a regional shopping anchor rather than just a municipal one, which explains its relatively large scale compared to Ariel's size.
Are there shops for children and babies in Ariel?
Yes — the Ariel portal has a dedicated page called "Children's & Baby Shops in Ariel," which brings together clothing and gear for kids in the area. This is part of a broader shopping offering in the city, which also includes a separate page for home and garden shops (furniture, curtains, and décor) and a page for electronics and computers (sales, repairs, and gaming). All these pages complement the city's two main malls — Mega Or Rami Levy and Ariel Center — and the four additional commercial centers with about 80 businesses. So parents of young children don't need to travel to another city to get the basic essentials.
