Peshawar Morr

Peshawar Morr is one of the oldest inexpensive places in Islamabad. True, that it has lost its “highly crowded status,” over the years but enough people still frequent it to create a traffic jam. Walking on the footpath is no easy task either with scores of people coming from both directions.

However, if you don’t mind being part of a rather disorganized crowd and need to buy ready-made clothes or footwear then you will find multiple options in Peshawar Morr that will prove helpful.

Also, if you fancy a nice dinner after shopping then there are numerous low-cost restaurants where you can have quality food.

Aabpara Market

Aabpara market is probably the oldest commercial zone of Islamabad. Located on the left side of Khayaban-e-Sarhadi in sector G-6, it never loses its charm.

Aabpara is mostly known for the shops having a variety of food items and fresh juices but if in need you may also visit to do your last minute Eid shopping at very low rates.

G-11 Markaz

G-11 Markaz is merely a child among the commercial hubs that we’ve shared earlier. However, it has quickly taken heed of consumer needs with a variety of outlets offering everything from food items and crockery to clothes and footwear.

The rates offered at most shops are quite reasonable so there is no harm in giving G-11 Markaz a shot!
