    Kampala is dotted with colorful markets, including the frenetic Nakasero Market at the foot of Nakasero Hill, which sells fresh produce from eggs and chickens, to fish, halal meats, and all kinds of vivid vegetables, tubers, and fruit. Also try Kampala’s legendary Rolex – not a Swiss timepiece, but a popular street food combining an egg omelet and vegetables wrapped in a chapatti (flat, round bread made without yeast). A little further west, Owino Market sells all manner of goods from food and spices to pots, pans, and secondhand clothes.

    For typical Ugandan souvenirs such as wood carvings, woven barkcloth mats and pots, decorated gourds, musical instruments, leather and sisal (a strong white fiber) baskets and textiles, head to the Uganda Arts & Crafts Village behind the National Theatre on Buganda Road.
