As you walk along the meandering pathways and tunnels while evading donkeys carrying huge loads of goods, explore the specialist zones that divide the souk. When you are surrounded by authentic khans, madrassas, dye pits, and stalls selling fruits, herbs, and soups, as well as the sound of copper being hammered and the sound of clucking hens, it is not difficult to imagine yourself in the Middle Ages.
