About
快速信息: Narrow, sunlit alleys hide lively markets where traders hawk spices, brassware, and warm pastries while neighborhoods hum with daily rituals. Rooftop glimpses and weathered mosaic doorways turn aimless wandering into treasure hunting, rewarding photographers and snack lovers with unexpected scenes and flavors.
亮点: Duck into a tangle of alleys barely a meter wide and you’ll find the air thick with cumin, smoked sardine oil, and the sweet resin of burning cedar, while the azan rings out five times a day and bounces off sun-worn plaster. Every evening a handful of stallkeepers still haggle using the same nicknames families have used for generations, calling one another by names like Haj Mohamed and Fatima while scribbling totals with a stub of green chalk on wooden cupboards, a practice some locals say dates back three generations.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable closed shoes, narrow cobbles and uneven thresholds are common.
- Dress modestly with shoulders and knees covered to blend in and avoid unwanted attention.
- Carry small change and limit bulky valuables; pickpockets target distracted visitors in crowded alleys.
- Ask permission before photographing people, and try early morning or golden hour for the best light and quieter lanes.
