Kejetia Market, Kumasi

This market is suppose to be the largest open market in west Africa. Apparently it burnt down both in 1995 and 2009 but it is back to "its gloriously hectic former self"... now that the Bradt guide got right!!

And the Bradt guide continues: 'Incredibly, some 10,000 traders operate within a 12 ha market with many more stalls spilling out along the surrounding streets.

On the inside, the market takes on a labyrinth aspect, confusing at first, but in fact quite orderly.'
