Ibn Batouta Mall — Local services in arrondissement de Tanger-Medina طنجة المدينة

In February 2023 we visited Tangier and whilst there we explored the IBN Batouta indoor shopping mall which spans over 4 floors. The shopping centre was very modern and clean.  It was suitable for the whole family and there was a children's play area (Magic land), Mayoral kids shop and an arcade centre with great views of the marina and Place des Nations.

There was a great selection of European shops including Zara, Carrefour, Swarovski and Bershka. It was nice to discover new shops that we had never visited before including Riad Fes perfume shop, Parajoy cosmetics, Razana women's boutique, Yan&One cosmetics, the nut shop Pistacherie al fassia,  Rafinity the jewellers, Huilarome cosmetics and the vintage clothes shop Onilara chic.  There was a great selection of merchandise for sale and the prices were excellent. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. They took the time to speak about products and points of interest around Tangier.

As well as having a great selection of shops there was also a food court.  There was a great range of restaurants including Box fast food, Tendy's, Bubble Mania ice-cream parlour, Wheelys, Tacos de Lyon, Lunch Factory and Crepe a la carte. Other services at the shopping centre included underground parking with electric charging stations, ATMs, bike hire, free Wi-Fi, a prayer room and a relaxation area. We would definitely recommend a visit if...

Ibn Batouta Shopping Mall opened the first week of November 2017, and is located on Avenue Ben Tachfine not far from the main city beach.

I made my first visit earlier and was hoping to go shopping at the Carrefour, but the English-speaking help desk woman told me that it was not yet open but will be open on November 15.

I walked in and noticed that all the escalators work and there are two elevators to take you down to the lower level where the Carrefour is located. This Carrefour is not as large as the huge Carrefour at the Socco Alto Mall but it has every food item you will need.

There is a Zara shop here, and several upscale clothing shops, an electronics store and other businesses, plus an expensive cafe. But from what I can tell, this mall is not as large as either the Tanger Boulevard or the large shopping mall in Malabata across from the train station and next to the Hilton Hotel.

The Ibn Batouta Shopping Mall is an improvement in the downtown area. The exterior of this mall is mirrored glass, giving it a modern touch, and the architectural design is incredible, with a domed ceiling in the atrium area.

There are a number of security guards throughout and a help desk. The mall also has its own parking garage in the basement level for customers that is entered from a back street or accessed by...

Everything in one place – clean, comfortable, and convenient Ibn Battouta Mall is one of the best shopping destinations in Tangier. You can enjoy a variety of restaurants and cafés, perfect for grabbing a bite or relaxing with a coffee.

There’s a wide selection of stores for shopping, including a well-stocked supermarket. The mall is clean and well-maintained, with modern restrooms (WC) and great air conditioning especially nice on hot days.

There’s also a mosque inside for prayer, which makes it even more convenient for visitors.
