Lonely Planet review

Once the centre of the city's socioeconomic activities, this bustling thoroughfare dates to the start of the 14th century and was home to souks, funduqs (caravanseries), hammams, farranes (communal ovens) , fountains and the rahba zraâ (wheat market). These days it's home to kissariat (covered markets) selling everything from jellabas to jewellery. The 14th-century mosque with the attractive green-tiled minaret is known as the Jamaa al-Hamra (Red Mosque). Go figure.
