Bab el-Bahrain Souk
The souk is bustling in the evening, most of the shop keepers shut up shop for a “siesta” during the day when the weather is at it’s hottest. Goto the Souk at around 6 pm when it is at the least busiest, before the crowds roll in. It is ful of locals and tourists alike all looking for bargains. You’ll find everything from the most ornate beautiful gold jewelry to tea sets to fabrics, they pretty much sell everything except groceries. Don’t pay tag price for anything, haggle for everything even when in a store that you think might have ‘fixed” prices these guys are also worth haggling with, they are all looking for an easy sell to a tourist. Shop for a bit and stop in a nice airconditioned cafe for a cool drink before resuming the task at hand shopping!!! Enjoy!
