The best fashion and gift stores Cameroon

Timetable

Local craft markets generally open a little later than others, around 10am. They are open from Monday to Saturday and usually close before nightfall (i.e. before 6pm).

Budget & Tips

Where there's a deal, there's a negotiation! Considered the country's national sport after elbow greasing, no transaction is complete without a good negotiation. So don't hesitate to divide your money into different pockets, so as not to let your interlocutor get an idea of your budget.

A few small bills in your pocket to prove your "good faith" will make you a credible negotiator and help you obtain lower prices.

What's very local

Passport masks are one of the specialties of local art markets. These brightly-colored miniature terracotta masks are typical of Cameroon, and are the ideal gift (as they are inexpensive and not bulky) to brighten up the interiors of those around you.
