You will be offered a broad, even bewildering array of arts and crafts. Interestingly, not all of it is local; for example, I bought some beads which the vendor confirmed were of East African origin.

It has a nice selection of arts and crafts and the big one is that the merchants are not averse to bargaining. It can be fun.
