A basic rule to respect in all your purchases (or almost): negotiate the price. Rare are the shops where the prices are posted and, in fact, it is the local habit to negotiate everything. So don't hesitate, while remaining smiling, to divide by two or three the announced prices, before reevaluating little by little your offer to agree with your interlocutor.
There are few souvenir stores or fairs in Guinea except, with rare exceptions, in the capital. To find objects to bring back from your trip, the best thing to do is to visit the workshops and workplaces of the artisans. You will find original products at affordable prices, especially if you take the time to negotiate
Most markets, especially weekly, are also an opportunity to find typical local objects and items. It is necessary to take time to wander among the colorful stalls to hope to find the rare pearl.
