Ibn Batouta Mall

Tangier


Modern opulence may not be historically synonymous with once-seedy Tangier, but this shopping centre offers it in spades. Mirrored doors welcome you into a three-storey mall, with a sunlit domed atrium, a performance arena for local musicians and a top-floor cafe and balcony.
