Tataouine Market
سوق تطاوين
A traditional market in the town center, with stalls selling spices, dates, Berber rugs and daily goods. Villagers from the surrounding area gather on market days.
Tataouine's market stretches through the arcaded old streets in the town center. On ordinary days, permanent shops sell spices, dates, silver jewelry, Berber striped rugs and woven goods. On market days, residents of the surrounding mountain villages arrive on donkey carts and motorbikes, and stalls selling livestock, produce and secondhand goods fill the streets, full of local life. The town also has several sweet shops selling traditional honey pastries such as Kaab el ghazal and Corne de gazelle. Bargaining is customary for handicrafts. The market is busiest in the morning on market days, so keep an eye on your belongings.
