  • Amazing place to buy all sorts of Tais and souvenirs! Bigger covers for couch and bed are around 25USD, smaller ones for the table are around 10USD and the small ones are 2USD.

  • I recommend making your way right to the back for the best Tais. You will know the quality Tais as they are a heavier, more rustic weave with more natural colours. Ask the stall owner to tell you...

  • Wonderful small market where local stitched fabrics are made and sold. Local owners, surrounded by children are friendly, welcoming and not harassing, just need to negotiate the prices, which are lower than the ones found in hotels and airport. Not to be missed
  • This is a go-to place to buy local tenun/woven cloths in Dili, Timor-Leste.
