Shopping in South Africa

South Africa is rich in handicrafts such as jewelry and diamonds, and the prices are quite cheap. Because there are abundant jewelry raw materials here, they can sell high-quality jewelry at a lower price. In South Africa, it is best to buy diamonds in officially authorized and licensed stores. When purchasing gems, we should also pay attention to whether there is a certificate indicating the weight, color, purity and other data. Cheaper diamonds can be bought on the black market, but the risk of being cheated by fakes is greater. South Africa's traditional handicrafts are very memorable, such as bowls, pottery pots, beads, carvings, tapestries and so on.

As for South Africa's more distinctive handicrafts, they can be bought in art villages and roadside stalls. Roadside vendors selling handicrafts is a major feature of rural South Africa.

Shopping in South Africa can be refunded, which is very convenient. If the one-time purchase exceeds 65,438+000 rand, you can get a tax refund of 65,438+04% at the airport when you leave the country. Pay attention to keep the receipt when shopping. Duty-free goods can be bought at Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban International Airport.

Ostrich eggs and wood carvings are special tourist souvenirs.

The local price is about 4 rand for a can of coke in the supermarket, 8 rand for a bottle of local beer and 40 rand for a fast food with cod chips.
