Features information that is relevant to travellers who are thinking about and actively planning a visit to Mauritus.
The Craft Market is located in Port Louis, the capital of Mauritius. The market is a two-storey building within the Caudan Waterfront complex. There are 36 stalls selling a wide variety of products ranging from exquisite woodwork to detailed baskets without forgetting beautiful glass souvenirs. There are also items made from seashells, boxes of ground spics, embroidered linen, handmade jewellery and the very famous African rag doll dressed with a typical sega outfit. You can pick any of these as a souvenir of your visit to Mauritius.
Many of the handicrafts are made by the stalls owners and their families. You will get the chance to meet the artists behind the paintings on sale or even witness your name being engraved on a wooden key chain.
The location of The Craft Market is definitely one of the best as well. Because of this you may find the goods sold a little pricey. You can bargain to get a little better price. While this is a convenient location, this is by no means the only place to get these items. There will be one or two handicraft shops in the normal markets also. These shops may not have a wide variety of the items.
You can also grab a quick lunch at the food court of Caudan Waterfront.
