3 Best Shopping in Rabat and Casablanca, Morocco

This regional handicrafts center is well worth a visit. There's a large courtyard where exhibitions are often held, a shop selling crafts at fixed prices, and an auditorium. Around the courtyard and upstairs are the workshops of local craftspeople as well as classrooms to teach young people these skills. Look out for the beautiful Azemmouri embroidery.

This mall overlooks the sea opposite the Abdul-Aziz Saud Mosque, right before the Megarama cinema. There's a pretty good selection of shops—most containing clothing and accessories—as well as a supermarket and stores selling books and cosmetics. Right outside, you'll find a number of restaurants and cafés overlooking an accessible stretch of beach.

At the end of the Corniche, just after the Sidi Abderrahman islet, sits one of Africa’s largest malls. It features all kinds of stores and a sizeable food court. There’s also an IMAX theater, a large supermarket, and an adventure playground for kids that includes an ice rink.
