Medina Jedida Market
Medina Jedida (Tahtaha)
A traditional market quarter formed in the 19th century, its alleys crowded with spice, fabric, traditional clothing and snack stalls.
Medina Jedida (New Medina) is a district built for the local population during the colonial period. Its core is the open-air market around Tahtaha Square, which sells spices, olives, fabrics, traditional clothing and everyday goods. You can try local Oran street snacks such as karantika (chickpea flatbread). It is crowded, so keep an eye on your belongings. Mornings are the best time to visit.
