Bakaara Market
Bästa tid att besöka
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.
Budgettips
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.
Rekommenderas för
Lovers of authentic markets, Photographers of street life, Adventurous travelers, Shoppers of curiosities and handmade crafts

Om
Snabba fakta: Denna marknad i hjärtat av Mogadishu lockar dagligen upp till 50 000 människor som kommer hit för allt från färsk mat till vapen. Den har funnits i över femtio år och dess namn betyder på somaliska "platsen där frukt säljs".
Höjdpunkter: Under de till synes kaotiska markiserna säljs saker som du inte skulle hitta i ett vanligt varuhus: handgjorda somaliska dolkar, receptfria läkemedel och gamla amerikanska dollarsedlar i buntar. Marknaden har till och med en egen informell "växlingskontor" där lokala handlare bestämmer kurserna efter den aktuella situationen i staden.
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.
