The closest place is a shop not far from the hotel: as you exit, immediately to the right. You will pass payphones, the Arabia Azur hotel and see a pharmacy and a shop. This is 200 meters. Usually they have boxes right on the street. You can also take a taxi to the main street. Sheraton ($2, you can say "McDonald's") or walk (20-25 minutes. There's fruit for every taste! I don't know the season, we usually go in the spring.

From the hotel to the old town 7-10 minutes walk, to the left of the exit from the hotel, fruit is cheaper than in the center. There are shops right along the streets, fruits are usually displayed on the street near the entrance to the store. In November, figs for 9-10 pounds ($ 1.5), mangoes for 20, this is what I always buy. Try juices in glass bottles, delicious from guava. From fruits in the fall, pomegranates, guava, tangerines are also sold.

from fruits I highly recommend golden mango
it's so delicious it's beyond words
(those that sell "houses" are just a pitiful semblance)
price around 3 bucks per kg at this time

I would advise you to buy not in stores, but directly on the Sheraton, an Arab with a wagon or a shop. By the way, they trade normally. We took mango (price 5 dollars) for 4, even 3.5 dollars, ishta for 4 dollars, strawberries for 2.5 dollars. And they also told us that the townspeople themselves buy at local food markets, but we didn’t have time, we left, even to find out where it was and how often the white-faced brothers from the USSR were perceived by the locals. At prices, we were told, all fruits are 2-3 times cheaper

yes, prices generally depend on the size of your tan and external solvency. Although, if you pretend that you are from Estonia and do not understand English and Russian, but only in Estonian, then the Arab can spit and give it away, well, quite cheaply, because they just have to sell, and the client who left is worse than the enemy! ))) So if you have time, nerves and excitement, you can bargain even cheaper! Good luck!

There is a market in the old town, where fruits cost a penny (although for tourists it is still probably 3 times more expensive than for locals). We took mangoes, melons, guava, bananas there - everything is very tasty and cheap, but you need to wash the fruits very carefully, better with soap - after all, Africa!

The market is located next to the main street of the Old Town, where the bus stop is.

this miracle market is truly a miracle. If you know the city well, then you can take a minibus, stop AFRIKANBANK, but you can also take a taxi. This is a market, as it were, to put it more simply, not a market, but a collection of one heap of dirt from all over Africa, all the poorest and dirtiest Arabs, in short, if we had launched our sanitation station there, it would have been closed in the morning. This is a bazaar for the local population, where there are no tourists, and there is not much to clean up for anyone, but for them it will do. The view is terrible, but the prices are MUCH cheaper than in the city. At the sight of tourists, they raise prices three times, but in order not to go crazy, you can take a closer look at how much the locals buy and then already know to what extent they bargain.
