- Owino Market - As the largest open-air market in Uganda, Owino Market was established in 1971 when Kampala City Council relocated 320 vendors from Nakasero Market. It hosts over 50,000 vendors and is renowned for its second-hand clothing. However, it offers a wide range of products, including groceries, home appliances, shoes, bags, and more, all at affordable prices. Visitors may find themselves spending more time than anticipated due to the market’s diverse offerings, and navigating out can be tricky, but rest assured, a professional guide will assist you.
- Gadaffi Mosque - No Kampala tour is complete without visiting the Uganda National Mosque. Formerly known as the Gaddafi National Mosque, it is the largest in East Africa and the second largest on the African continent, after the King Hassan Mosque in Casablanca, Morocco. Situated atop Old Kampala Hill, one of the seven most prominent of Kampala’s 23 hills, the mosque is a two-story building with the mosque on the upper floor and offices on the ground floor. It features large domes adorned with brown mosaic and a minaret, symbolizing religious architectural excellence.
The mosque provides stunning citywide views, religious artistry, exquisite Islamic embroidery inside the dome, and remarkable architectural elements that honor a great deity.
