Rihanna goes shopping in Morocco



A day after playing to more than 100,000 Moroccan fans, Rihanna had some retail therapy.

The Stay singer, swarmed by paparazzi and cameramen, strolled through Rabat's old souqs on Saturday and checking out some local jewellery and the country's famed lanterns.

Friday night saw Rihanna open the Mawazine Festival as part of her Diamonds World Tour.

Split over five acts, the superstar's 90-minute performance showcased her latest electro-fueled album Unapologetic in addition to past hits including Umbrella and Rude Boy.

The tour now continues through Europe and Australia before arriving in Abu Dhabi's Du Arena on October 19.

Tickets begin from Dh395 from www.thinkflash.ae
