In the narrow alleyways of the spice souk, the atmosphere and the scents of the past can be savoured in this Typical Arabian Market. Bags of spices, incense, rose petals and traditional medicinal products are stacked outside each stall. A short walk from the spice souk is the gold souk. Bargaining is the norm in the souks and even in shops it is wise to ask for ‘the best price’, particularly if paying by cash.
