Consider visiting Medebar Market and seeing the combination of human imagination and craft firsthand. See the dozens of vendors and tiny workshops whose owners and workers use discarded metal and other materials collected from the landfills nearby to create their wares.

By purchasing some of their pieces, you can support them. To visit Medebar Market and other attractions in Asmara, use our Asmara road trip planning app.
