Souq Libya
سوق ليبيا
A traditional market in town selling dates, olive oil, spices, Bedouin blankets and cheap imported goods.
The market takes its name from the goods that were once traded from Libya, and today it is Marsa Matruh's busiest shopping spot. Stalls sell Siwa dates, olives and olive oil, herbs and spices, Bedouin woven goods and all kinds of everyday items. Prices are negotiable, making it a good place to buy souvenirs. It is busiest in the evening and about 1 kilometre from the corniche. Keep an eye on your belongings.
