Markets
The two markets are an interesting place to visit if you want to make the experience of the African life.
There you will find vegetables, dried fish, goats, lots of second hand stuff and beautiful fabrics that a few tailors sitting in the market will quickly transform in bags, trousers or very pretty dresses.
Banks
There are 3 banks (Barclays, BCI and BIM) where to change foreign currencies and 3 ATMs that accept Visa and Mastercards.
