When it comes to shopping Uttara is as good as any other place in Dhaka. Name any brand, it is available here.
We must start with Aarong‘s flagship outlet here on Airport road near Jasimuddin avenue about. They truthfully claim to be the “local Mecca for deshi handicraft”. Apart from their innovative product design, this outlet is also a symbol of innovation itself. The architecture and interior decoration is remarkable. Frequently, it creates shopping addiction to visitors, beware!
The next place ‘RAK Center’ is closer to Aarong’s flagship outlet on the Jasimuddin avenue. Home to many renowned brands, RAK is very popular to shoppers and food lovers alike. Famous brands like e.t.c, cats eye, ecstasy, artistri have outlets in there. After exhausting shopping you would like to visit ‘Coffee World’ on the ground floor or ‘Pizza Inn’ on the 4th floor. RAK is equipped with both lifts and escalators.
Both ‘Mascot Plaza‘ and ‘North Tower‘ are located at the crossing of Sonargaon Janapad avenue and Airport road. They are vying neck to neck for attracting shoppers and visitors. When it comes to saree North Tower has slight edge over Mascot Plaza. But it may vary for certain class of shoppers. Both the places have famous brands’ outlets and generic shops. Bargaining is a must for these places. As with other shopping places, North Tower has a food court upstairs for post-shopping hungry people and Mascot has Cooper’s on the ground floor and Red Fort restaurant upstairs. While North Tower has both lifts and escalators, Mascot is equipped with only lifts.
