概要

クイックファクト: Narrow alleys brim with an orchestra of smells: cumin, orange blossom water, leather, and frying oil, so wandering becomes a full-senses scavenger hunt. Vendors' calls create a lively soundtrack, and bargaining is expected so final prices can fall by half or more during a good haggle.

見どころ: Seek out the henna artists who draw complex floral mandalas with tiny cones, the paste darkening to deep reddish-brown over 24 to 48 hours and leaving a slightly sweet, resinous scent. Watch a metalworker file a brass lamp, sparks dancing in the shaded alley while a finished lantern's warm, honeyed reflections catch the eye.

インサイダーヒント

Wear closed-toe shoes and light layers, alleys can be dusty and temperatures change quickly.
Head to the spice souk near Rahba Kedima for vivid displays and excellent morning photo backdrops.
Skip overly aggressive carpet sellers; visit a cooperative or known workshop if you want a fair price on rugs.
Use side streets off the main alleys to escape the busiest crowds and photograph a street sign or landmark to find your way back.
