Asaba is well known for social activities and amenities such as hotels, clubs, cinemas, malls, event centres, etc. It holds a yearly program called Delta Yaddah which always hosts a series of gospel singers among others. Because of the presence of foreigners in the state, the cost of living is high in Asaba. In some respects, Asaba and neighboring Onitsha in Anambra are considered a continuous metropolitan area. The Onitsha bridge is the boundary between Delta and Anambra state, as the bridge separates Asaba and Onitsha.

Originally Asaba consisted of nine Ebos (Quarters) but due to internal strife, wars with other communities and slave trade that followed, these Ebos were reduced to only 5.

The Ebos are:

Umuezei
Ugbomanta
Umuaji
Umuagu
Umuonaje

Popular native greetings in Asaba are:

Oyibo
Ojukpa-Aku
Agu
Aje
Ogene
Omogwu (also used in Ibusa)
Osodi (for wives)
Otena-Mgbo (for wives) also in use in Ibusa
Akudika (for wives)
Oliuwa (for wives
