Fodor's Expert Review Souks

In the city itself, the municipal market (also referred to as the Amazigh souk) sells spices, dried fruits, and other household essentials. In an open-air area to the east, you'll find men upcycling plastics and tires into saddles, water troughs, and panniers for donkeys. The older, so-called Arab market is the better one for souvenirs, and here you can pick up local terra-cotta, brass, and copper items, along with leather sandals, rugs, and jewelry. You can access the souks from Place Assareg.
