The Alfafar Weekly Market is the largest street market in town, with around 40 outdoor stalls selling clothing, footwear, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, and cheese and dairy. It runs weekly and is the best option if you want a broader mix of food and non-food goods in one visit.

A second Orba market, the Orba Neighbourhood Market, operates separately with 25 stalls covering clothing, handicrafts, footwear, and flowers and plants. Both are held in the Orba area and offer a more neighbourhood feel than the larger weekly market.
