The Rundown

F-6 Markaz, which is actually called Super Market, is well-known for being the capital's oldest and most valued centers for business, combining traditional culture with a modern way of life. As a marketplace in F-6, this icon is always active, with students, diplomats, travelers, and residents all having a good time. 

A special thing about the market is the unique combination of cafes, bookstores, boutique clothing stores, handicrafts, and bakeries that combine Islamabad’s traditional culture with its new features. Making it worth exploring for anyone curious about the city.

A Prime Location That Connects Hearts and Minds

As one of the busiest locations it attracts customers due to the high level of accessibility. Being located between the Blue Area and the Jinnah Avenue, it is easy to access it by car, taxi, ride-hailing apps, or even walking through the rest of the area. There are enough parking spots, however, during rush hours, the traffic problem may occur, so during this period you may even walk in the market. 

It is a cultural point because some of the key places such as Marriott Hotel and Parliament House are very near. Interconnection with the rest of the busy business zones like Jinnah Super in F-7 and Melody Market, means that you can shop and dine at some of the centers located in Islamabad with ease. It is a significant center to unite neighbourhoods of the city. 

Timing Your Visit for the Perfect Experience

In order to know the rhythm of the Super Market, try to maximize your visit. The afternoons changing to evenings showcase the market in its most active form, and the outdoor restaurants are full of people talking and life in the market is at its peak. Mornings are a different and more serene experience, with less people around. Which means you are able to browse bookstores, have a quick bite at the bakery, or have a relaxing cup of coffee. 

During the weekends and especially on Saturday evenings, the market becomes a vibrant social place and without any doubt crowds can be very large. The Eid festivals during the holy month of Ramadan and the celebrations as well offer special festive decorations and ensure that the market is open long into the night. In the winter season make sure to have a steaming cup of chai from one of the stalls and in summer evenings don’t miss out on walking on the pedestrian friendly streets. 

A Tapestry of Experiences Awaiting Discovery

Super Market provides a diverse combination of activities, which appeal to various interests and preferences. Coffee lovers can have a caffeine trip of the sophisticated espresso at SecondCup to the real chai in tea stalls around. The food industry covers all the traditional Pakistani food in Khyber Dodai to the international food in pizza shops and the fashionable burger cafes. 

If you are a book lover you’ll find literary treasures in MrBooks and the various old book shops in the market. Fashion hunters will have options among the conventional kurti stores, western wear boutiques and accessory kiosks, which display local mastery and international trends. The grocery stores located in the markets offer imported products, organic products as well as daily products, which the expatriates and locals who are interested in specialty products find.
