Private tour of the large Marcory market

About this activity

Whether you are interested in local food, fabrics (loincloths), or just curious to discover the atmosphere and culture of the markets, I suggest you discover the large Marcory market for its diversity.

You will discover the vibrant life of Abidjan markets, local snacks (street food), the key ingredients of Ivorian dishes, the culture of loincloths etc.

The itinerary can be personalized according to your wishes and if other markets interest you, do not hesitate to contact me.

The price is for 3 people maximum. Contact me for more participants. This price includes the visit to the Marcory market which takes approximately 2 hours. An additional 2 hours can be included to visit CAVA if available (taxi not included).

For my part, born in Abidjan, I have been working in catering for several years. In my different positions, I was responsible for purchasing products, so I spent many hours exploring the Abidjan markets that I love.
