Kemta Adire Market
Ways Of Travel
By car and motorbike
Reason To Recommend Place
Most of the women converse in the local language Yoruba, and some in Pidgin English. Therefore,if you understand neither, you should take a local along for communicating. The market is rowdy and not well maintained so come along with durable footwear and clothes. If you are visiting Abeokuta, a trip to the market is a must as there is no better proof of your visit than wearing an Adire fabric.
