Directions

The main commercial artery of the Muslim Quarter, Suq Khan al-Zeit is one of the oldest continuously operating markets in the world, stretching from Damascus Gate deep into the Old City. It sells everything from fresh ka'ak bread and za'atar to textiles, spices, and household goods used by actual residents. The sensory overload — smells, sounds, crowds — is part of the experience. Caveat: tourists should be aware of their surroundings and keep valuables secure; some vendors are aggressive with tourists.
