What you can expect

  • Begin your experience with a pickup from your hotel or meet your guide in central Addis Ababa. Head to the Merkato, the largest open-air market in Africa, and get an overview of the market and safety tips from your guide.

    Visit selected stalls for cotton garments, netela, zuria, scarves, and tailoring shops. Try on a few pieces and learn fabric names and uses. Next, enjoy a private visit to a local atelier or tailor. Watch a short demo of traditional garment making (hand-stitching/embroidery), try on a tailor-made sample or accessories, and take photos.

    Afterward, sit at a nearby traditional coffee house for a full coffee ceremony. Learn about coffee’s cultural role and about how clothing styles signal occasions/regions. Enjoy coffee and light snacks.

    Make a quick stop at a craft/toiletries stall for small souvenirs, such as spices, jewelry, and scarves. Finally, wrap up your experience with a Q&A session and get dropped off at your hotel or receive directions to nearby attractions or recommended shops.
