Superblock L includes well-known buildings such as Cinema Rivoli, the Carlton Hotel and the iconic Shurbagi Building. It is also famous for Souq al-Tawfiqiya, which is a market that sells fruits and vegetables on one side, and car accessories on the other. Although busy streets surround the superblock, the passageways inside feel relatively relaxed, despite the mix of commercial and crafts activities.
