Kariakoo Market
An authentic and exhausting shopping experience, the Kariakoo
Market, which consumes numerous city blocks and is known as the
largest market in East Africa, will appeal to all holidaymakers and
shoppers and will quell just about every splurging urge. Offering
everything from clothing, African drums and stone jewellery to
agricultural goods, housewares, and many other items. As busy and
exciting as this market is, many foreigners find it too
overwhelming and pickpockets and other petty thieves take advantage
of this. Shoppers should leave their valuables at home and only
take as much money as they want to spend.
Information & Facts
Address
Language
Swahili and English are the official languages. Several
indigenous languages are also spoken.
Money
The official unit of currency is the Tanzanian shilling (TZS),
divided into 100 cents. The tourism industry prices everything in
US Dollars and they are the preferred unit of currency. Major
currencies can be exchanged in the larger towns. Foreign exchange
bureaux in the main towns usually offer a better rate on travellers
cheques than do the banks. ATMs are available in major cities only.
Major lodges, some hotels and travel agents in urban areas accept
credit cards, but these should not be relied on and can incur a 10%
surcharge.
