Top Muslim Travel Tips for Cape Coast

Hang out on the beautiful beach under the Palm trees and watch the local residents pulling in fishing nets and traditional boats.

Take a Global Mamas workshop on batiking, Ghanaian cooking, fishing, and/or dancing. globalmamas.org

If there is a game when you're there, go see the Cape Coast Dwarfs play a soccer match in the stadium. Entrance fee is C3 and it's worth it! The level of play on the pitch may not meet GCC standards, but the enthusiasm of the fans surpasses those standards easily. Practically all spectators sing along in support of their team, encouraged by drums and other musical instruments. Do yourself a favour though: don't bring any valuables. There is always a risk of pick pocketing in large crowds and you will be feeling uncomfortable with a camera around your neck or your wallet showing through the bulge in your pocket. Do bring some petty cash though, as you probably will want to by some water after a while sitting in the burning sun. Also, little baggies with peanuts and other Snacks are being sold by women (and some children...) walking up and down the stands. It can be great fun, although you could be intimidated by a hint of aggression that hangs in the air, but not like hardliners among the fans of some European or South American teams. Intriguing fact though: In the end of the match and the referee is escorted off the field.

Shopping in Cape Coast

Ele Emma, a seamstress on Aboom Wells Road, makes high quality tailored clothes. Prices are roughly GHC20,00 (U$19,00 - Aug2008) for a shirt.

Commercial Road has many great booths for small gifts-- one in particular has beautiful jewelery and beads. This, along with other stands along the road, offers better prices than the tourist stores in the Castle, and supports local economy.

Halal Restaurants & Food in Cape Coast

The main street has many good eateries.

Cape Cafe on Commercial Road has great good quality food. With a friendly atmosphere, quick service, full bar, and a menu of both Western and Ghanaian food, it is a favorite of both tourists and local residents.

Further along, just to the right of the fork in Commercial road (the crab monument), Ant's Rastafarian Health Food Store is a gem for vegetarians-- smoothies, veggie dishes, and even tofu are available there.

Walk in the alley way next to the right of Malcom. Then make your first right into the smaller alley. Then your first left past the fruit stand. And you will find a hidden local market. In here you'll find the best fou fou lady in town.

• Janet's Grilled Cheese | next to Ocean View Internet between the Crab Statue & the Castle, just next to Ocean View Internet towards the Crab - Janet's, advertising "Ghana's best Grilled Cheese," does not serve your average grilled Cheese sandwiches. Sandwiches are made with Laughing Cow Cheese, a fried egg and chopped onions/peppers/tomatoes on fried bread. Delicious and affordable.

• Assase Pa | on the road to Elmina past the Total station towards the hospital - A wide variety of vegan soups, salads and mains for cedis each. A pleasant walk from the downtown.

Excellent Outdoor Cafe with traditional dancing and fire eating up the hill along the beach. Traditional drinks such palm and 'pitoo' are normally found there.
