The items on sale in the shuk cover a wide range from kitschy tourist souvenirs and authentic locally made textiles to exquisite glassware and ordinary household items that the locals might need.

This is a great place to come to sample the local street food. Get a fruit juice freshly squeezed as you wait; sample the local falafel and hummus or try the shawarma. Most importantly remember to haggle over the prices; ask permission before taking photos of locals; respect local norms and customs plus, as with any market, watch your bags.\u00a0 content from https:\/\/www.beinharimtours.com\/the-suk-the-market-\/<\/span><\/p>\u00a0<\/p>

If you hear about the \u201cThree Markets\u201d it refers to the Butchers\u2019 Market; Spice Market and Goldsmiths\u2019 Market that run above the Cardo in the Muslim Quarter. The three streets run parallel and are connected by narrow alleyways. Here you\u2019ll find a mix of items on sale including electric goods; fresh produce, meat, household items, jewelry, fabric, and clothing. The \u201cArab Shuk\u201d runs along David Street in close proximity to Jaffa Gate.\u00a0<\/p>
The \u201cMuristan Market and Avtimus Market\u201d are in the Christian Quarter near the\u00a0Church of the Holy Sepulchre<\/a>.<\/span> Along this stretch, you can find many eateries, regular shops, and churches. David Street is to the south; the Butchers\u2019 Market to the east and the Christian Quarter Road to the west. This area is where the Roman forum once stood and under the Crusader Knights Hospitallers, a hospital was established here.<\/p>The present-day Muristan market is named after the Crusader hospital (Muristan is a corruption of the Arabic word, \u201cBimaristan\u201d meaning hospital). Many years later in 1903 when the Greek Orthodox Church owned the land, a market was established here by the Patriarchate Archimandrite Avtimus (now known as the Avtimus Market after the Patriarchate).
