Monday Market

With a strong focus on produce and household goods, this weekly market set up along the city's dry riverbed is of more interest to tourists for the sights and sounds than for the shopping opportunities. Things don't really get busy until around 10am, so with an early enough start you could see it as a day trip from Asmara.
