Bakaara Market
Melhor época para visitar
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.
Dicas para economizar
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.

Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Este mercado no coração de Mogadíscio atrai diariamente até 50 000 pessoas, que vêm em busca de tudo, desde alimentos frescos a armas. Funciona há mais de cinco décadas e o seu nome em somali significa "o lugar onde se vende fruta".
Destaques: Debaixo das lonas aparentemente caóticas das barracas, vendem-se coisas que não encontraria num centro comercial normal: punhais somalis artesanais, medicamentos sem receita e antigas notas de dólar americano em maços. O mercado tem até a sua própria "casa de câmbio" informal, onde as taxas são ditadas pelos comerciantes locais consoante a situação atual da cidade.
Dicas de quem conhece
- 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.
