Quartier Habous (New Medina)

Quartier Habous is a mid-20th-century neighbourhood built in a blend of Moroccan and French architectural styles, and it’s one of the best places in Casablanca to browse for souvenirs. Explore its small lanes and arcades to find bookshops, leather workshops, pottery stalls, traditional clothing, and plenty of places selling good-quality argan oil, spices, and ceramics. Take your time walking between the courtyards, and don’t miss the traditional bakeries for boxes of Moroccan pastries to take home.

Maârif

Maârif is one of Casablanca’s main shopping districts, known for its concentration of fashion shops and its steady stream of locals out hunting for new styles. International brands sit alongside smaller Moroccan boutiques, so you can browse everything from designer labels to more affordable streetwear in the same stroll. The neighbourhood is also packed with places to refuel, whether you want a quick sandwich, a traditional bakery stop, or a sit-down meal at one of the many cafés and trattorias.

Derb Ghallef

Head to Derb Ghallef for a busy flea market experience set amidst a labyrinth of shopping streets. Part of the larger Maârif area, this neighbourhood offers a treasure trove of goods, from clothes and books to furniture and electronics. It's the ideal place to put your haggling skills to the test. While you're there, don't miss the century-old Horticulture Garden for a quieter moment amid the shopping frenzy.

Anfaplace Shopping Center

Anfaplace sits right on the Corniche, so you can shop with the ocean in view. The mall brings together international brands, a few local boutiques, and a supermarket. It’s a great place to wander when you want air-conditioning and a break from the city streets, and there are plenty of cafés and quick-service spots if you feel like taking a pause between shops.
