  • Buy your souvenirs here! They say they buy children’s educational materials with the money made. I am not sure, probably true. What they are great at is prices! And they have a fantastic collection. Question any price and it goes from being good to great. They undersell the others. You are happy, they are happy. If it does help the kids – great. They seemed genuine and were friendly.

    Directions:
    Located right in the centre (top of the hill) just a stone’s throw from the Seven Olives Hotel. I bought some crosses for a few dollars. Great value.

    GIFT SHOPS AT THE AIRPORT
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]

  • There are 2 gift shops in this picture taken in the airport. The shop on the left is run by a nice guy with OK prices who will negotiate to reasonable levels. Its not the cheapest, but he has a good selection and more in the back. He has some good postcards and will negotiate down on those too. He is friendly and helpful.

    The shop on the right is run by a rude bastard who doesn’t think I know Amharic swear words. Not impressed.

     Great to know that postcards are sold at the airport. Yes, crime does not pay should be taught early. Will revisit later when more tips are completed. SL :)

     Dao, since we are kinfolk and such, I guess we have been having incesterial conversations! Can't wait for the family reunion! We can have a spitting contest! I'm not a very good spitter though!
