Morocco Mall...Over 100,000 visitors seduced upon opening

Having just arrived back from the VIP opening of Morocco Mall, in Casablanca, I thought I would share my experiences with you...Where to begin? What an amazing opening, Madame Salwa Idrissi Akhannouch, Chairman of the Aksal Group, has certainly set the benchmark in Mall openings. With every fine detail taken care of, she is a truly remarkable person and a pleasure to meet. Here she sums up the project...

Morocco Mall is the true essence of a destination mall mixing shopping and lesiure. We wanted to go that extra mile, to place ourselves in a new league to traditional shopping centres. Our vision and desire was to offer the people of Casablanca, Moroccans and visitors to the Kingdom a unique and magical place that could be found nowhere else on Earth. The culture, the leisure attractions and the public gardens along the seafront all join together to complete the urban landscape and offer the people of Casablanca a new place of life and relaxation in one of the busiest areas of the city: The Corniche.”

What an awe-inspiring event, with champagne flowing, the finest caviar and seafood, as well as other delicacies on offer, Morocco welcomed for the first time Jennifer Lopez, and many national celebrities to entertain the evening's VIP guests. An amazing performance from the 3rd musical fountain in the world (1st for the region) delighted guests, culminating in a spectacular firework display that lit the Casablanca skyline.
