SAARA AT RIO DE JANEIRO CITY CENTER
Yes, our Saara is located in downtown Rio. This is not the desert, but one of the biggest open market in the city. Because of the easy localization, it’s possible to get there by the metro. Uruguaiana is the closest metro station.
WHY SAARA?
In fact, the name means: Sociedade de Amigos das Adjacências da Rua da Alfândega (Alfândega Street Adjacent Friends Society). I confess that when I discover the real meaning I had to admit that they were really creative and the name was sucessful, everybody in the city knows.
The adjacent streets that are part of the market are: Rua dos Andradas, Rua Buenos Aires, Rua Uruguaiana, Rua Senhor dos Passos, Praça da República, Rua Regente Feijó and Rua da Alfândega.
WORTH MENTIONING
You will find some of the same stores at different addresses. This is because as stores grow, new spaces are acquired and new units are opened. In all streets there are stores of varied articles, that is, there are no specific streets for each article.
VARIETIES
In the stores that work in Saara you can find almost anything you need.
There are choices of clothing stores, toys, jewelry, costume shops, makeup, lingerie, natural products, children’s party, stationery, tools, crafts and more.
Want to know the best? Most prices are very popular, much cheaper than the other shopping centers around the city.
TIP
Visiting the Saara is even more recommended for the festivities of the end of the year and holidays such as Carnival. Decoration and costumes have a great price there.
DETAIL
Although the city center has a large shopping area, Saara and Uruguaiana are different things. Understand, we know that Saara stores practice very low prices. They are usually series-made products imported from China.
The presence of Chinese owner shops is large. They opened these stores working on importing these products, which is a great value for us. On the other hand, the shops in Uruguaiana, that we call “Camelódromo”, usually sells fake products with very low quality.
INFORMATION
Address: Rua da Alfândega, 004 – Downtown, Rio de Janeiro
Opening Hours: From Monday to Friday from 09 am to 6 pm; Saturday from 09h to 2 pm.
