MARCHÉ D'ADJAMÉ
A market renowned throughout the country, where you can find everything you're looking for and more, such as clothes, kenté fabrics, etc
We will surely tell you about it and you will want to visit it: the market of Adjamé is sprawling and famous throughout the country. It is the biggest in Abidjan and it is strongly advised to go there accompanied, because some small streets are not always very safe for the toubabous strolling in this popular area where thieves - especially pickpockets - are kings. You can find everything you are looking for and even more. You can find a lot of "flea" or second-hand clothes, and especially a lot of counterfeits, of bad quality. For example, you can find wax clothes in a specific area where you can find kenté fabrics, bazins and other traditional woven cloths made in the villages of each region of the country. You will also find the "black" market, which is not recommended, firstly because you will inevitably make a bad deal: a telephone that will no longer work after two days, etc., and because this kingdom of stolen goods and contraband is not well frequented. Venturing into this market without a bag and a big camera is advisable, but be careful with your pockets and try to stay on the main roads. The crowds can get tiring quickly, so be sure to leave your driver nearby or you will struggle to find him or her. The traffic jams in this area are sprawling, so avoid going in the evening when everyone is packing up and trying to get home before night falls.
