Shopping in Morocco is a great attraction for tourists most interested in shopping. That is why we wonder what is the best place to carry out this activity during your trip through the country, bearing in mind that there are many existing options… and that they are not mutually exclusive.
A Subjective Choice
Choosing the best place to go shopping in Morocco is subjective, that is: each person can choose a different one, depending on aspects as different as the variety of stores, their location, the value for money… In the first places of this list, the Hivernage neighborhood in Marrakech is usually mentioned, probably the most touristy and international city in Morocco. Others prefer the exclusive areas of Rabat, the country’s capital and, therefore, well equipped with premises frequented by public officials and highly qualified workers.
However, one of the proposals that cannot be missed is in Casablanca, the most populated city in Morocco, and also its financial and economic center. It is here where the main commercial venues are located, in terms of size and variety, with a protagonist above all: the Morocco Mall.
Morocco Mall, the Largest Shopping Center in Africa
The Morocco Mall can be considered one of the best places to go shopping in Morocco, for one main reason: it is the largest shopping center in the country… and throughout the continent, according to different sources. Its commercial area is around 250,000 m
The fashion sector is perhaps the most represented here. If we focus on the stores that are distributed throughout the site, we can mention large Western chains and
But in addition to fashion, the stores here also sell other products demanded by any current buyer, such as perfumery, electronics or toys. And the Morocco Mall also winks at traditional commerce with an area called “Souk”, with stalls as a medina bazaar, where articles typical of those stalls are sold, in many cases related to traditional and artisanal trades: bottles with argan oil, incense air fresheners, leather goods, etc.
And of course, as a complement to the commercial offer there is a huge offer of restaurants and leisure. There is no shortage of fast food chains or ice cream parlors, to replenish energy on a day of shopping, and the complex’s large 3D cinema also exerts a great attraction for visitors, as well as its aquarium and its large children’s ball park. The breadth of its halls also makes possible the establishment of thematic exhibitions from time to time, such as antique cars.
Where is the Morocco Mall
The location of the Morocco Mall is also an attraction in itself: it is located right on the seafront, at the western end of the Boulevard de la Corniche, on the opposite side of the Hassan II mosque. For some, walking to the shopping center is a feasible option from Ain Diab beach or from the Sindibad zoo, although the most comfortable option is undoubtedly to access by car.
So if you are going to spend part of your trip in Casablanca and want to enjoy one of the best places to go shopping in Morocco, our agency can organize all the details of the experience.
