Casablanca central market will offer any visitor a great shopping pleasure. Besides being a place where you can feel the city's authentic and natural flair, it is also a spot where you can shop for local delicacies such as fresh seafood, fruits, vegetables and rare spices. It is a great place to wander around, see the everyday life and spot locals doing their own shopping.

Memo-Arts is actually a gallery well-known among wealthy locals who are fond of antiques. Unlike the shopping spots downtown that offer kitsch and pricey souvenirs, Memo-Arts is the place to get authentic and original antiques that can always make a perfect gift or souvenir from Casablanca. The gallery features rooms with Moroccan and Oriental paintings, furniture, sculptures and books. Most of the objects date back to the last century but some are even older.

If interested in local music, both Arabic and of Berber origin, try the Comptoir Marocain de Distribution de Disques on Avenue Lalla Yacout in the core of Casablanca. It is a shop specialized in selling CDs, offering a great variety of Moroccan traditional music, as well as Spanish, Berber and western music. The patron speaks English and is a very polite person, always ready to fulfill your interest.

This is one of the largest shopping venues selling local specialties. Here you can find fine carpets, leather goods, vessel, jewerly and other craft items brought from all over Morocco. The Exposition Nationale d'Artisanat has fixed prices, so it is not the place to bargain, but definitely the place to get a good quality gift or souvenir.

Old Medina is that part of Casablanca that any Arab city features- the old part of the city. Replete with narrow paths and strange twists, magically filled with delicious aromas, covered women and indistinct chatter, Old Medina of Casablanca will also offer you a great shopping experience. The street market in this part of the city starts and ends everywhere, on every corner. You will find various stores- fruits and vegetables, furniture and antiques, souvenirs and gifts, clothing and accessories. It is also the area where you can notice specific Arab-Mussulman (Muslim) architecture.
