The importance also increased due to being a market for a number of the shoppers. The result of the study is the emphasis on the importance through the raise of the number of shoppers in average of (11.229) shopper/ day during the rush time in the days of the week. The biggest ratios of those shoppers were from outside the area of the study that comes for their jobs in the governmental institutions and directorates. However, most of those shoppers suffer from the congestion of markets and the lack of organization and order and the mixing of the vehicles with the movement of the shoppers in addition to the absence of the municipal services like paving the streets and the spread of the garbage in the sides of the market. That necessitates the activation of the role of the municipal offices to develop the center in consistence with the needs and requirement of the city.
