Habous Quarter (Quartier des Habous)
Best time to visit
Morning, right after shops open, when temperatures are cooler and vendors are setting up for relaxed browsing; late afternoon is pleasant for cafes and softer light for photos.
Budget tips
Free to wander, there is no entry fee; bring cash and small bills since many stalls and bakeries do not accept cards, and negotiate prices politely at market stalls.

About
Fakte të shpejta: Cobblestone alleys smell of baking bread and spices, while shady arcades hide tiny bookshops and workshops where artisans polish brass and hand-embroider textiles. A surprising number of teahouses and galleries cluster around sunlit courtyards, offering a photogenic blend of Moorish arches, colorful zellij tiles, and French colonial lines that lure photographers and bargain hunters.
Pikat kryesore: Winding streets laid out in the 1920s by French planners hide tiny shops where artisans still hammer brass trays and stitch red-and-gold babouches by hand, the metal ringing faintly like a bell when a tray is set down. A local habit makes mornings feel alive: bakers pull warm msemen and honey-drenched chebakia from wood-fired ovens at dawn, the air thick with toasted sesame and orange blossom so strong you can smell it three streets away.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the quarter has uneven cobbles and narrow lanes.
- Carry small cash, most artisanal stalls and patisseries are cash-only.
- Visit early morning to avoid tour groups and midday heat.
- Ask permission before photographing people or private courtyards, and look for the ornate tile and carved wood at the Mahkama du Pacha courtyard for photos.
