Sabah and its surrounding regions are famous for handicrafts and souvenirs made by local tribes.

Here you can buy special local stuff like betel nuts, exotic fruits, vegetables, dried and fresh fish, sarongs, etc.,

Gaya Street, another Sunday Market in the capital city of Kota Kinabalu, is the most famous market for street shopping.
