This Eid al-Fitr, the centuries-old market welcomed holidaymakers, drawing both the young and the not-so-young to its maze-like corridors highlighted by colourful shops and restaurants.
A stroll along the souq’s cobblestoned main walkway is already an experience.
This tourist destination also offers a variety of local and international cuisine, clothing, spices, and a wide range of souvenirs, among others.
The souq’s “pet alley” is among its popular attractions.
Children often enjoy interacting with cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs, turtles and fish, and different bird species.
