Why you should visit it
You can find fresh meat, poultry, fish and seafood, as well as veggies, fruits and spices. You can also buy many handcrafted souvenirs and gifts, but keep in mind you must bargain all the time. It's also one of the best places for local street food.
Special tip
Walk around and try an almond alouda (milk-based drink with tapioca), a dholl puri (pea flour pancake), and a farata (wheat flour pancake).
