Najbolje vrijeme za posjetu
At daybreak, around 6:30 am, the roadway is still clear and the aluminum blazes in the raking light. Avoid midday, when the vertical sun and traffic stifle the avenue.
Savjeti za budžet
Access is completely free, the thoroughfare is public: no ticket or schedule to respect. Keep a few shillings in your pocket if a vendor offers you a souvenir photo session, and agree on the price before committing.

O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Malo vozača zna da voze ispod šupljih aluminijskih kljova od kojih svaka teži gotovo pola tone, metal odabran da izdrži pred solju Indijskog okeana. Glavni par podignut je 1952. godine u čast posjete jedne kraljice, a dva luka se krste iznad avenije a da se nikada ne dodiruju.
Istaknuto: Sunce pri zalasku provlači se između dva luka i pali aluminij narandžastim sjajem koji preplavljuje čitavu širinu kolovoza. Mombasijanci se jednostavno dogovore za sastanak "pod kljovama": to je jedina orijentirna tačka u gradu gdje svi, od vozača matatua do ribara iz luke, tačno znaju gdje treba stati.
Insajderski savjeti
- Come on a Sunday morning, when the street calms down and the sugarcane juice vendors set up at the foot of the pillars.
- Position yourself halfway under the arch and shoot upward toward the sky for the most spectacular angle.
- Cross in a group with the locals, since traffic remains heavy even outside peak hours.
- Watch your belongings during photos and leave large bags aside, as pickpockets operate in the crowd of the nearby market.
