Bakaara Market
Beste tid å besøke
Best in the morning between 7 and 9 a.m., when the stalls are freshly stocked and temperatures are still bearable. Avoid the midday hours when the heat and crowds are at their peak.
Budsjettips
Entry to the market is free, and haggling is completely normal and expected here. For 10-20 dollars you can take away so many souvenirs and spices from the market that you will barely be able to leave with them.
Anbefalt for
Lovers of authentic markets, Photographers of street life, Adventurous travelers, Shoppers of curiosities and handmade crafts

Om
Raske fakta: Denne markedsplassen i hjertet av Mogadishu tiltrekker seg opptil 50 000 mennesker daglig, som kommer for alt fra ferske matvarer til våpen. Den har vært i drift i over fem tiår, og navnet betyr "stedet hvor frukt selges" på somalisk.
Høydepunkter: Under de tilsynelatende kaotiske presenningene til bodene selges det ting du ikke finner i et vanlig kjøpesenter: håndlagde somaliske dolker, reseptfrie medisiner og gamle amerikanske dollarsedler i bunter. Markedet har til og med sin egen uformelle "vekslingskontor" hvor kursene bestemmes av lokale handelsmenn basert på den aktuelle situasjonen i byen.
Insidertips
- Carry cash in small bills, change is often an issue here and cards are not accepted anywhere.
- You can take photos, but always ask the vendor first and do not film soldiers or security forces under any circumstances.
- A local guide is a great investment, not only for safety, but mainly for negotiating better prices and gaining access to the back alleys.
- Dress conservatively: long pants and a scarf over the shoulders do not hurt and will earn you the respect of the vendors.
