The souk is now divided into four sections
The first section naturally includes antique dealers and their eclectic assortment of items. Some have their own shops, while others set up on the neighboring streets, displaying their goods directly on the ground in a yard sale fashion. Strolling through, you can browse old objects or furniture, happily moving from one discovery to another.
For those redoing their homes or looking for something specific, the other three sections of the market house woodworkers, metalworkers, and potters. You can watch them at work, admiring their skilled movements and the smells of glue and varnish. This is the charm of a market still unknown to many tourists, remaining distinctive and preserved. If you enjoy treasure hunting, this bustling, popular souk is a must-visit.
