The Kaneshi markets Limited is a trading Centre in Kaneshie, Accra, Ghana. It was built in the 1970s. [1] The name "Kaneshie" means "under the lamp" referring to its beginnings as a night market.During the 2015 Accra floods, the market was submerged and operations were forced to shut down. [2]
Kaneshie Market is located along the main road heading west from Accra. It resembles Makola Market in many ways, with a bustling mix of stalls, shops, and street vendors selling almost anything you can think of. The market also serves as a key transportation point, where "trotros" and regional buses pick up and drop off passengers. That said, if you're visiting a market just for the experience, Makola is easier to reach. [3]
Kaneshie also has services and dealers associated with vehicles and transport, as well as more formal fuel stations, supermarkets, pharmacies and other formal shops. [4]
