HAMAR>>Hamar Markets
Markets
The weekly markets in Turmi and Dimeka are meeting points, not only for the Hamar, but also for the neighboring people. In Turmi the market day lies on Mondays while in Dimeka the market day lies on Saturday. Items of merchandise include fruits, honey, butter, milk, sorghum, millet,coffee, and coffee cover (often called Shoforo), red clay soil, beads, cowry shells, pottery, goats, head rest (called Berkotta ) and beautiful incised gourds . Omo valley market places, including that of the Hamar, are best for tourist observation and photography because these places are platforms where one can view aggregation of different people with various cultures, costumes, hairstyles and decorations.
