The Maasai Market is a colourful open-air craft market that pops up at different locations around Nairobi on set days, spilling over with handmade Kenyan goods. Stalls overflow with beaded jewellery, woven baskets, carvings, textiles, sandals and the famous Maasai blankets, all sold amid friendly bargaining. Buying here supports local artisans and traders, and it is the best place in the city to find authentic, handmade souvenirs and gifts while soaking up a vibrant slice of everyday Kenyan commerce and craft.
