Morocco in Manila

Dinah S. Ventura

Rustan's, in partnership with the Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco in the Philippines and the Moroccan National Tourism Office, unveiled the grand festival called Morocco Kingdom of Light at Rustan's flagship store in Makati City on Monday, 25 September.

A scheduled preview was previously postponed in light of the recent earthquake that took thousands of lives in Morocco.

In this inspired endeavor, which celebrates light as a source of inspiration, creation, and energy, Rustan's not only continues its commitment to enrich the Filipino shopping experience through quality and curated merchandise but also by sharing the authentic traditions and craftsmanship of Moroccan artistry, while connecting the country to the rest of the world.

The Morocco Kingdom of Light will run until 31 December on the 5th floor of Rustan's Makati and the 2nd floor of Rustan's Shangri-La, one will discover the rich heritage and the cultural diversity of the Kingdom of Morocco.

In light of the recent calamity in Morocco, five percent of the total sales for the first month will be donated to the victims of the earthquake through the Embassy of Morocco, demonstrating Rustan's dedication to not only celebrating culture but also supporting those in need.

In a raffle promo that will run, seven lucky patrons get the chance to fly out to Morocco or win luxury merchandise. Simply present a receipt with a minimum purchase amount of P10,000 to participate. The prizes include two business class tickets to Morocco sponsored by Emirates Airlines; three Zellige Tile Moroccan Fountain; a Zellige Tile Table Set of 3; a Moroccan rug; and a Moroccan Dinnerware Set of 12.

In the business of making dreams come true, one's long-held hope of escaping to the breathtaking charm of Morocco is now a stone's throw away at Rustan's.
