Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) can be the best option in developing seamless communication environment in various application scenarios where there is no any pre-defined infrastructure. A mobility model which represents movement behavior of considered application scenarios should incorporate important features that may change characteristics of mobile nodes. In most of the cases, mobile nodes used to move along predefined paths toward their destination. We propose a new mobility model which represents movement of mobile nodes in case of pre-defined structured area including attraction points to incorporate realistic behavior. We simulate performance of Ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) routing protocol varying speed, load and node density. In terms of performances, average end-to-end delay is less in case of proposed mobility model. However, packet delivery ratio is found lower compare to random way point. The goal of our proposal is to model user's realistic behavior in conventional routing protocols
