Lonely Planet review for Souq al-Alawi

Souq al-Alawi, which runs E off Al-Dahab St, is the most extensive and traditional souq in the Kingdom. With wonderful old houses towering skyward, the market stalls cut into the heart of the old city and buzz with the activity of traders and pilgrims from across the sea and desert in much the same way it has for more than a millennia. The atmosphere is especially cosmopolitan during the haj season. Try and be here at sunset when the call to prayer fills the lanes - this is Arabia at its best.
