Afra Mall (Arabic: مركز عفراء التجاري) was a shopping mall in Khartoum, Sudan.[2][3] It opened in 2004 and was the first shopping mall in the country
The mall was two stories and had an area of 45,000 square metres (480,000 sq ft).[2][4] It contains a hypermarket, a movie theater, an ice-skating rink, an internet cafe, a food court, currency exchanges, and a variety of shops

A substantial portion of the shopping center burned in early May 2012;[5] the mall was subsequently renovated.[6]

During the early weeks of the Sudanese civil war (2023–present), the mall’s stores were subject to heavy looting and destruction, including luxury goods, phones, and electronics.[7] The mall was later engulfed in a fire and destroyed by shelling, with the RSF and SAF claiming that the other side had destroyed it
