An open-air shopping center in Gueliz combining international brands, cafes, and a rooftop terrace, a popular meeting point for Marrakech's New City retail scene
Carré Eden is an open-air shopping center on Avenue Mohammed V in Gueliz, designed around a central plaza that gives it a more pedestrian, street-level feel than a fully enclosed mall. International fashion and cosmetics brands sit alongside Moroccan retailers, cafes, and restaurants, with a rooftop terrace level offering additional dining and city views. Its central Gueliz location makes it a natural gathering point for locals and visitors alike, especially in the early evening when the plaza fills with strollers and cafe patrons. Like Marrakech Plaza nearby, prices are fixed, offering a break from souk-style bargaining, and the center's cafes and restaurants make it a convenient stop for a meal or coffee while shopping in the New City. It works well paired with a walk down Avenue Mohammed V toward other Gueliz shops and the area's contemporary art galleries.
