Khayyam Al-Rabie Est
For dates, nuts and nibbles, head straight for the famous Khayyam Al-Rabie Est, which, with its fairy lights and floor-to-ceiling rows of goodies (including over 50 varieties of dates in all shapes, shades, colours, textures), is like an Aladdin's cave for the sweet-toothed.

Rayhanat al-Jazirah Street
For antiques, head for the string of stores on Rayhanat al-Jazirah St, right next to the Al-Tayibat City Museum for International Civilisation, where you can find jambiyas (tribesmen's ceremonial daggers), old coffee pots, good-quality Bedouin jewellery and incense burners.

Star Superstores Ltd
The largest supermarket in the downtown, with a reputation for reasonable prices, is the Star Superstores Ltd found inside the Corniche Commercial Centre. With its selection of fresh fruit, cheeses, freshly baked breads and olives, it's a good place for preparing a picnic. It also sells baby food.

Souq
Jeddah's souq immediately south of Al-Amir Fahd St and Al-Balad, is well worth seeking out. It's subdivided into different sections, some populated by different immigrant groups, such as Yemenis selling Yemeni coffee and jambiyas (tribesmen's ceremonial daggers). If you're here immediately before, during or after the haj, don't miss it.
