The Markato

The grand market (Markato) is a place where a commercial activity of the capital city takes place. It is one of the largest open-air markets in Africa and one of the largest in the world. It is true that anything you might want can be found here, only if you know where to look. Markato is not only Addis Ababa's commercial center, but also the dynamo of the country's business and industry. Here bargaining is a way of life.
