Shopping in Northern Ethiopia

  1. A

    Merkato

    The obvious choice for shoppers. Within the market and on surrounding streets you'll find basket, pottery and cloth stalls.

    You can support Project Ploughshare by buying pottery in Wolleka or at the unmarked stall opposite the Royal Enclosure.

  2. B

    Fine Art Gallery

    One shop that stands out from Lalibela's throng of souvenir shacks. Inside are beautiful watercolour and sepia paintings created by Tegegne Yirdaw, a local artist who can count Princess Anne as one of his work's admirers.
