Guinea

Shopping in Guinea

  1. Centre d'Appui à l'Autopromotion Féminine

    The Centre d'Appui à l'Autopromotion Féminine women's cooperative outlet has a huge selection of interesting tie-dyed cloth. The numerous vendors opposite Hôtel Camayenne sell all the usual crafts while the shops around the CAAF have a smaller selection but higher quality. In general, it's better to buy baskets, textiles and other crafts upcountry, as quality is as good or better and prices are lower. Several woodcarving shops are found around town.
