Market Places

  • font size decrease font size decrease font size increase font size increase font size
  • Merkato. The merkato is the largest outdoor market in the world, and you can get anything from tourist goods (t-shirts, wood crafts, etc.) to fabric to metal goods there. Haggling and bargaining
are standard procedure, and foreigners (especially those of European ancestry) should expect to be charged higher prices. To ensure a positive experience, maintain a sense of humor, don't be afraid to negotiate aggressively, and above all don't let yourself be bullied by the many "brokers" who frequent the market, and will try to steer you towards certain stores in exchange for a kick-back from the merchant. You will be able to negotiate lower prices if you can avoid brokers, and especially if you have a local friend or guide to buy things on your behalf. (250 stores)
  • Friendship Supermarket. Bole Road (airport end). Well-stocked western-style supermarket - and they accept Visa. (225 stores)
  • Edna Mall. Bole Road (109 stores)
  • Dembel City Center (132 stores)
  • Getu Commercial center (105 stores)
  • Addis Sheraton Shopping (84 stores)
  • Loyal Shopping center (120 stroes)
  • Arat Kilo Shopping center (98 stores)
  • Piassa Shopping center (67 stores)
  • Bambis department store (3 stores)
