Zainab Market

The maze of Zainab Market is primarily known for selling cheap export-quality clothing, originally manufactured for reputable international brands. Clothing items on sale are overwhelmingly without fault, but did not quite make the cut to be shipped on to overseas distributors. Leather, woven rugs, shawls, jewellery, spices, and many further goods are sold here - remember to haggle.

Dolmen Mall

When it comes to shopping centres, the Dolmen Mall in Clifton knows no competition. It's a one-stop shopping location for clothing, shoes, accessories, and even groceries. A few local and international store brands are represented, including the well-known British retailer Debenhams. There is a food court and children's entertainment centre on-site.

Empress Market

The Empress market's story dates back to the times of the British Raj, when it was first inaugurated and named after the then-empress Queen Victoria. It remains in operation today, and is a busy marketplace selling all manner of produce, including that which isn't in stock at markets elsewhere in the city.

Lucky One Mall

The shopping hot spot of the city's north is Lucky One Mall, an enormous shopping complex that ranks among the largest in the world. Apart from an abundance of retailers, the mall also houses a two-storey theme park for visitors of all ages, as well as an outdoor food street with a variety of restaurants.
