About
クイックファクト: 迷路のような屋根付き通りが60本以上続き、4,000店以上がぎっしり並ぶ空間では、香辛料の甘い香りと金細工の光が混ざり合って目と鼻が休まらない。買い物では値切り交渉が恒例で、現地の商人と言葉を交わしながら掘り出し物を見つける楽しさが味わえる。
ハイライト: 天井がドーム状に連なる61の通りと約4,000軒の店が迷路のように入り組んだ空間では、真鍮のランプが鈍く光り、皮革とスパイスとシナモンの甘い香りが混ざって鼻をくすぐる。中央の古い石造りの建物は1460年代に築かれたと伝わり、石床の反響で商談の声がこだまするため、古い仕来りで店主が重い真鍮の天秤を取り出して品物を量り、交渉がまとまると小さなロクムを差し出すことがよくある。
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes and a small secure bag, alleys are cobbled and you will walk a lot.
- Visit right after opening to avoid crowds and see shopkeepers arranging displays, mid-afternoon is the busiest time.
- Ask permission before photographing people; for strong architectural photos aim for the main domed halls and ornate gates.
- Haggle politely, compare identical items at multiple stalls, and avoid buying high-value antiques from the first seller you meet.
