The outdoor stalls offer a huge selection. Some vendors are pushy, but the vast majority are very helpful. We made a wide variety of purchases and I'm very happy with our visit to this souk.
Numerous shops where the salespeople don't harass you to buy.
The souk wasn't interesting.
A souk just as you'd imagine it. Lots of talk, but not much substance. Despite that, the people are very nice and friendly!
