New commercial centre for Fez



Have you been wondering what is going on behind the hoardings on Avenue Allal Fassi?


Fez is to have have two new commercial centres, one in the new city at Champs de Course and the other on the road running down the hill from McDonald's to the medina. For this latter development, the two petrol stations on Avenue Allal Fassi are already being demolished, and the small business making cane furniture has had to move. Behind that little business is quite a large community of shack-dwellers that's invisible from the road; who knows what will become of the people living there?

The scrubby hills to the south of Avenue Allal Fassi will be the home of a new development due to open at the beginning of 2010. In the 22 000sq m centre, there will be a 6 000sq m Label' Vie supermarket, 80 shops and a food-court with 10 restaurants. The developers are Best Real Estate.
