Murree Famous Market: Mall Road Shopping Guide

Murree's famous market is Mall Road, officially Jinnah Road, the hilltop street of shops selling shawls, woollens, leather jackets, handicrafts, dry fruit and souvenirs. Murree is famous as Pakistan's best-known hill station, built in the 1850s, for its cool summers, snowfall in winter, pine forests and views.

Mall Road Murree shopping

Mall Road has been Murree's main shopping street since the colonial era. Today it is lined with shops selling:

  • Shawls and stoles, including Kashmiri-style embroidered shawls
  • Woollen sweaters, caps and gloves
  • Leather and fur-trim jackets
  • Wooden handicrafts and souvenirs
  • Dry fruit and local snacks

What is Murree famous for?

Murree is famous as a hill station close to Islamabad and Rawalpindi.

  • Cool summers and snow in winter
  • Mall Road and its views
  • Pine forests and walking trails
  • Nearby spots such as Patriata and the Galiyat

Avoiding tourist prices

Prices on Mall Road rise in peak season.

  • Compare a few shops before buying a shawl.
  • Check whether a "pashmina" is really wool โ€” ask, and feel the weight and softness.
  • Bargain politely; many shops expect it.
  • Buy dry fruit in sealed packs.

Snow-season safety

In heavy snow, roads to Murree can be closed or jammed. Follow official traffic and weather advisories before travelling, carry warm clothes and keep fuel in the car.

โš ๏ธ Careful here

Market timings change with city notices, seasons, Ramadan and Eid, and many bazaars close one day a week. Check with a shop before you go rather than relying on a timing printed online.
