Dhaka’s shopping malls are divided into seven zones, with each zone’s shopping malls closing at different times of the week. When you go shopping, you should know whether your destination area or market is closed or open on that particular day. As a result, we provide more information about it.
Since 2010, the Bangladesh government has decided that shopping mall holidays will be on different days of the week and in different locations, with the following day being a half-working day.
In this case, the city has been divided into seven zones, with five days of the week designated as holidays, one for each location.
Market Closed in Dhaka City:
Dhaka is a never-sleeping city. If one section of the city closes, the other section remains open. The government declares certain days “off” in order to keep the city calm. These days are off depending on where you are in the world. There are seven zones to choose from. The closure of shopping center-related zones will be discussed in greater detail later in this article.
The shopping malls open at 9:00 a.m. or 10:00 a.m. and close at 8:00 p.m.
