Description

Socco Alto Mall is one of the biggest attractions of the city, with a huge Carrefour Hypermarket, a bowling, a fun park for children, and many national and international brands. It also offers a huge choice for fooding. The parking is free! and the price range for shopping is very affordable I highly recommand this mall for families and tourists.

The square, which underwent further development in 2005,[1] is particularly active during the evenings when vendors put up their extensive displays and sell a diversity of second-hand goods and fruits and spices in the square. The market is particularly colorful, and the female peasant sellers are known for their striped foutas and wide-brimmed straw hats. Nearby are the Anglican Church of St. Andrew (1894) and the Sidi Bou Abib Mosque (1917).[2]
