Morocco Mall

Morocco Mall is not only the biggest mall in Casablanca; it is also the second-biggest one in entire Africa. The mall opened in 2011 and has several shops, an IMAX cinema and a large and varied food court. Aquadream is a gigantic aquarium that visitors can even go scuba diving in.

Shopping

Morocco is a paradise for anyone who is smitten by traditional home decor or souvenirs. Top choice is usually colourful geometric patterned carpets called kilims or shoedwi, predominately black and white. They are usually handmade and sold in the intimate shops that line alleyways around Boulevard Felix Houphouet Boigny or in the medinas. Ceramics and pottery, such as tagines, along with woven textiles gifts share popularity with carpets and can be found in most bazaars with dried fruit and spices. Note that when shopping, haggling is part of the tradition and the golden rule here is to take your time.
