In addition to the more formal markets, also look out for the jua kali traders at the side of the road. Jua kali means "hot sun" in Swahili, and these informal traders do indeed stand in the hot sun all day selling their wares to passing pedestrians and motorists. There are a particularly dense crops on Ngong Road near the racecourse, on the road to Langata and in Westlands near Sarit Centre. They sell a variety of items such as lawnmowers, wrought-iron gates and a number of curios.
