The Commercial Centers (the Malls)
See the malls on the Map above (marked in blue).
Dizengoff Center
The most central and cool mall, you can’t miss it if you are walking in the center of Tel-Aviv. See a video.
On Fridays there is a food market with hot ready home made dishes to take away.
Don’t worry, you will find something to eat, the food market is huge. If we are already talking about food, visit also the page about (vegetarian) street food in Tel-Aviv (Falafel, Humus etc…).
There is also a famous little shop called “Lametayel” with travel items. On certain days there are free lectures about exotic world destinations like Nepal, India, South America etc. It is in Hebrew.
Azrieli Center (Azrieli towers)
The second big mall of Tel-Aviv. It is not located near the beach but near the Ayalon highway. Still, you can get there by walking or with a short bus ride.
There is an observation deck at the 50 floor of the building.

What to Buy in Tel-Aviv ?
Israelis are going to shop in Barcelona and Bangkok, so I guess Israel is not that attractive regarding the prices and variety of items. Still, you may find interesting :
- Jewelery – some unique designed pendants like “lucky Hamsa” etc (also available on Amazon).
- Arts and Crafts – Hand made items in the Nahalat Binyamin pedestrian street Bazaar.
- Casual wear – There are some fashion Israeli brands like Castro, Fox and Golf. You will find them in every mall.
Are the shops open during the week-end in Tel-Aviv ?
Shops are closed during the Shabbat period, which means from Friday afternoon to Saturday evening. There are some outlet zones, in some suburbs, which are open on Saturday. There are grocery stores, in the center of Tel-Aviv which are open 24 hours a day, including Shabbat.
Big malls are usually open from 9:00 to 22:00, during the week.
