Visit A Bazaar or Souk

An endless maze of kaleidoscopic colours, antique trinkets and exotic aromas.

A Vibrantly Coloured Grid Of Gifts And Goodies


Some of the oldest and best marketplaces in the world, Souks and Bazaars are found in towns and cities across North Africa, the Middle East and parts of Southern Asia.

They stand as testament to the rich trading history and culture of the region, and remain a central part of everyday life for local residents. A lifetime's worth of souvenirs can be pinned down in an afternoon and the real dilemma about upon perusing the goods quickly becomes how to fit it all in your suitcase without going over baggage allowances.
