The following is a list of shopping malls in Israel.
In Israel, use of the word kanyon is a play on the words "kne (male) / kni (female) and “liknot”, which means “buy", and "henyon ", which means "parking space" (due to the large amount of parking spaces near the mall), while at the same time sounding like the English word canyon. With the establishment of this mall, the word kanyon entered the Hebrew language. The word is now used to describe any covered shopping centre and many malls in Israel since then have been named with "kanyon" in their title.[1]
