The Spice Market (Souq al-Attarin)

Free entryOpen on Shabbat

The historic market street of the perfume and spice sellers, along the line of the Roman Cardo. Colourful mounds of spices, the smell of cardamom and roasted coffee, and a rhythm of trade that hasn't changed in centuries. Part of the trio of covered markets — al-Attarin, al-Lahhamin and al-Khawajat.
