As of today at five o'clock City Centre was still closed.
I just got back from Souq Waqif and the new Gold Souq is open. I took a quick wander around, it's air-conditioned, has a nice courtyard area with a small pool, and also had a café with a few tables. Not all the stores were open yet but the ones that were appeared to be very high-end -- some of the jewelry on display had really large stones (I'm talking “Holy &%^#!” stones). The jewelry was clearly for people with lots of money to spend.

I heard landmark will be closing down soon, too.hope it is a gossip but, sadly, the guy who told me seems like a reliable source!
Is there a new gold souq then? We went to a gold souq and bought a very reasonable (60%off!) ring. :))
I'm not sure if this gold souq is going to have the less-expensive jewelry stores currently housed in that old souq near the bus terminal. However not all of the stores have opened yet, and there is a second-floor, so maybe those stores will close down in the old place and move to the new one?
