Mombasa Tusks
Parim aeg külastamiseks
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.
Eelarvenõuanded
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.
Soovitatav
Photographers, Travelers on a stopover, Those curious about urban symbols, Morning walkers

Teave
Kiired faktid: Vähesed juhid teavad, et nad sõidavad õõnsate alumiiniumist kihvade all, millest kumbki kaalub ligi pool tonni, metall, mis valiti vastupidavuseks India ookeani soolale. Peamine paar tõsteti 1952. aastal, et tervitada kuninganna visiiti, ja need kaks kaart ristuvad avenue'i kohal ilma kunagi kokku puutumata.
Esiletõstmised: Loojuv päike libiseb kahe kaare vahelt läbi ja süütab alumiiniumi oranžis kumas, mis ulatub üle kogu sõidutee. Mombasa elanikud lepivad lihtsalt kokku kohtumise "kihvade all": see on linna ainus märk, kus kõik, alates matatu-juhist kuni sadama kalurini, teab täpselt, kus olla.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- 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.
