Konyo Konyo Market- Travel Tips What to See, How to Plan & Tours: Modern Urban; South Sudan; 5 Reviews

Suggested Duration: 2 hours

Konyo Konyo Market, located in Juba, is the city's bustling commercial hub where locals gather to buy food, clothes, cooking utensils, and other daily essentials. The market, named after the Juba Arabic term meaning "congested", operates in a lively and often chaotic atmosphere. While fruits and vegetables are locally sourced, most goods are imported, with fresh produce coming from Uganda. The market, once known as Bur Lo Tome, has been a key source of sustenance for the city, but in recent years, fluctuating prices and the decline of the South Sudanese Pound have made it a place of economic challenge. Despite the changes, it remains central to the daily life of Juba's residents.

First of all, it is important to mention that this is a market in Africa. But if you're used to it, it's not bad. It is huge and has many aisles and corners where you can get lost. However, you can find everything you need. From fruit, vegetables and crockery to furniture, clothes and everything else you can imagine. But be careful, you have to be good at trading and watch out for thieves. Some things can be found cheaper elsewhere, but most things are very cheap there.

If you want local color and the true Picture of this newest country in the world. You have to go to the local market. Since photography is not officially allowed, you must get permission and those around you will probably allow you to take some photos. Much to just wonder at. The people are very poor and struggling to make this a democratic system but many blocks are in the way. If you are a tourist you can take the motorcycles to the market from your hotel always ask your hotel for someone reliable. It is better than spending $50 on a ride. This is not a tourist destination it is a country that is dangerous if you go outside of the boundaries of Juba. Listen to the owner, yet these people are so very kind and curious to know you. If you are working there, then you will have some rules for security reasons. As a traveler-enjoy!
