The Spice Souk is a feast for the senses! Here, colors and aromas blend in a lively market filled with spices from all across the Middle East. Herbs, powders, and some of the world’s most famous spices—such as pepper, cinnamon, and chili—are on full display in this vibrant and colourful setting. You’ll also find beautiful kitchenware ornamented with oriental designs, perfect for cooking or bringing home as a souvenir. It’s the ideal place to learn more about the origins and history of spices, and to ask local merchants for tips and tricks on how to use them!
