Asaba is a calm city, a little sedate. It is a beautiful place with well organised landscape. Everything that would make life easy and fun is available: malls, mega stores, fresh produce markets, restaurants, spas, banks, cinemas, bars, night clubs… whatever you could think of. The downside, however, is that it is an expensive city.
