Grand Marché de Labé

Grand marché de Labé

The largest market in Fouta Djallon, selling highland produce, Fulani hand-dyed cloth, leather goods, and woven conical straw hats.

Labé is the commercial hub of Fouta Djallon. The Grand Market sits beside the great mosque in the city center, and its lanes are filled with highland potatoes, oranges, honey, and spices, as well as indigo tie-dyed cloth, leather goods, and the distinctive pointed woven straw hats known as Fulani hats. It is crowded, so keep an eye on your belongings and ask permission before photographing people.
