    • Guy N. ★★★★ It's a big market where you can quite get anything you want like kitchen ingredients, plenty articles related to clothing, including shoes. Everything is there. There is also a big supermarket
    • Tas A ★★★★★ A big market with everything you can think of. Bedding , fabric, shoe,bags etc. You have to be aware of your surroundings. There will be people trying to lure you into their shop and get you confused. STAND YOUR GROUND. Do not but anything without haggling. They always ask more from the selling price. Be careful when you buy fabric. Check the fabric if there is any tear and have them measure it in front of you before cutting. And again measure it before paying and putting it in your baggy. Some just like to scam and rip you off. Try to go with someone who knows the place or with a group of friends.
