As a self-confessed shopaholic, shopping in Rabat is definitely something that I can’t cross out of my itinerary. I’ve got to say that I have an insatiable appetite for window shopping and found fulfillment by walking through the biggest shopping center in Morocco. Mega Mall in Imam Malik Avenue is only a few hours away from my Rabat hotel, so how can I ever miss this opportunity to shop in the middle of an African paradise?

Based on personal experience, I’ve got to say that shopping in Rabat provides a fabulous treat with a wide selection of clothing and footwear brands as well as home decors. I can’t tell you how much fun I had while trying on some fashionable pieces from Versace, Diesel, and Tommy. However, I’m still proud to say that the local brands are equally enticing as the internationally-recognized labels. But unfortunately, as soon as my budget can no longer bear my extravagant shopping in Rabat, I decided to stop and instead let myself indulge in a sumptuous meal.

If you think this is easy, then why don’t you try standing in a multitude of restaurants and food stores in Mega Mall and see if you can make up your mind for a minute!? Though it took me hours to decide, never for a second did I regret giving the Moroccan pastilla a try. Smooth, sweet, and soft– this is a perfect ending to my shopping spree. Only after a few bites, I then reaffirmed my love for Moroccan cuisine.

But just when I thought my trip to Mega Mall has reached an end, I came across a bowling center and a skating rink. So instead of going back to my hotel room for some sleep, I decided to make a final stop and do a figure 8 on ice while enjoying the chill of the skating arena.

My travel adventures won’t be complete without this fun-filled experience and right now, I’m already planning for another visit. What else is there to say but the largest Moroccan mall is truly a must-see for shopaholics and mall rats like me.
