Old Bazaar

The holy cities of Makkah and Madinah are located in Saudi Arabia. Millions of pilgrims travel to these cities each year to worship Allah and offer their prayers. On the other hand, not only are these amazing cities beautiful, but they also have fantastic shopping. Following the completion of the pilgrimage and the ziyarats, one is required to proceed to the marketplace. When going to the Prophet's Mosque, many locals and tourists also go to the Old Bazaar immediately after entering Haram.

The Old Bazaar is located close to the Masjid an-Nabawi, and it is here that vendors attract customers in order to offer them souvenirs and sovereigns. The Old Bazaar has an entry through gate number 6 of the Masjid an-Nabawi.

It is a massive community market that offers a diverse selection of goods and foodstuffs. It has been around since the beginning of time, and its business has been handed down from generation to generation. This marketplace has been around since the time of the Prophet Muhammad. It is a conglomeration of thousands of different types of businesses, including shops, restaurants, kiosks, stalls, and street vendors. The pricing of the many products and displays here are really reasonable.
