Afra Mall (Arabic: مركز عفراء التجاري) is a shopping mall in Khartoum, Sudan.[1][2] It opened in 2004 and is the first shopping mall in the country.[1][2]
The mall is two stories and has an area of 45,000 square metres (480,000 sq ft).[1][3] It contains a hypermarket, a movie theater, an ice-skating rink, an internet cafe, a food court, currency exchanges, and a variety of shops.[1]
A substantial portion of the shopping center burned in early May 2012;[4] the mall was subsequently renovated.[5]
