Guest rating
4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
Overwhelming. Go with someone who's from Ethiopia. The Merkato is massive and difficult to navigate without someone who understands it.
4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
It's huge. Find someone who can show you what you want, otherwise you will be wading through streets and alleys full of cheap western-style clothing, shoes and textiles. Some good finds to be had though.
