Mercato is the only best market in Ethiopia. Everything imported from anywhere are down at here. And expanded to all Ethiopian state.

I didn't like this place very much. Clothes are majorly sold here but they seemed overpriced when compared to other currencies. Maybe they are trying to rip off foreigners. I was able to buy their native men's wear tho and I loved it.

Addis Mercato Market is the biggest market in Africa. It is a large open-air market situation in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It has different kinds of sight. Small and big alleys, many people carrying heavy load on their heads, ever-moving vehicles, humans and animals. The traffic here is crazy! You just have to catch fun at the sights of the heavy and never-ending streams of pedestrian traffic. It is a place to get all you need.
