Review & FAQ:

Al Darb al-Ahmar District Trades and Markets, meaning the Red Road, is filled with historic atmosphere. The area has been virtually unchanged over the centuries and is a maze of narrow alleyways that twist around and are lined with mosques and monuments. The market is a flurry of non-stop activity with a constant traffic flow every day of the week except for Sundays, when everything is closed. Samples of work are displayed up and down the street and craftsman can be found working away inside their shops.
