One of San'a's major attractions is it's market or suq. Located right in the heart of the old city, the suq is not only the place to go shopping, but also for strolling around and letting the sounds and smells play on your senses.
Apart from being an open-air museum, the Old City of San'a also houses the central market or suq. Entering the old city through Bab al-Yaman or Southern Gate, you directly walk into the suq. While the old city is an open-air museum of San'a architecture, the suq is where the old city comes alive. You can easily spend hours walking around the main suq streets and alleys for hours without ever walking the same stretch twice. It is probably a good idea to let your sense guide you through the area as you go, following your instinct and intuition. Stalls with preciously decorated jambiyas or traditional daggers, colourful clothes, piles of raisins, spices, shiny brassware, and many, many more things.
