Massive, modern, sleek and imposing, the Centaurus Mall is truly impressive. This multifaceted complex combines a shopping centre, hotel, and residential housing, making it a beacon of modernity for which Islamabad is renowned. The mall offers everything you need in terms of shopping, entertainment, and dining, allowing visitors to easily spend a whole day exploring its many floors.

Jinnah Super Market is the shopping destination for Islamabad's affluent residents. The stores offer the latest fashion from international designer brands, as well as traditional Pakistani garments for men and women. Additionally, you'll find a variety of household items, furnishings, and decorations.

Beverly Center is another modern shopping centre where local families and groups of friends often go to shop for essentials, or spend an afternoon browsing the many designer shops, sampling some delicacies at the numerous restaurants and cafes and enjoying an afternoon out.

For some shopping in the Rawalpindi area, try Al-Janat Mall. In operation since 1974, this large shopping centre specialises in clothing, cosmetics, bags, perfumes, jewellery, shoes and any type of accessory you can think of, all at quite competitive prices.
