Shopping malls are large indoor spaces with branded stores, air conditioning, modern facilities, and fixed prices. Malls often sell high-quality items. On the other hand, street markets are outdoors with small stalls, cheaper items, and allow for bargaining. In my opinion, malls are generally less crowded than street markets.
