Description
Nice Market. Market Days are Monday (big market) and Thursday (smaller market). Locals from the Hamer Tribe come here to trade Goods and get drunk ;) Lots of Package Tourists around when we were there but it still was okay. You can take one of the many Guides to avoid Hassle when walking around. Guides are available at the Market or one of the Hotels/Campsites. Our Guide wanted 150 Birr but we negotiated 100 Birr pp. Walked around for 1 Hour with him. Additionally 5 Birr per Photo.

Latest Check-Ins
We visited on a Monday and the market was quite smaller than we expected. And there were not a lot of people around. We enjoyed visiting though!
We left our car at Tourist Hotel after having breakfast there.
There will be self-appointed guides harassing you to hire them for 300birr, to buy an ‘entrance ticket’, threatening to call the police, trying to talk locals into not selling their fruit to you - the typical Ethiopian stuff. You can pay to get rid of the hassle, but we didn’t want to enforce their behavior. After a while they left us alone.
