The Carmel market

The strong smells of the Carmel market can be detected already from the small alleys leading to it- the fresh fish and vegetables and the newly baked breads blend in with the many people who come here, sellers and buyers alike. The Carmel market is named after the Carmel Street in which it is located, between Magen David square (at the intersection of King George, Sheinkin, Nahalat Binyamin and Allenby Streets) and HaKovshim Garden and the Carmelit bus terminal. Besides the busy market’s main stalls street, there are lovely picturesque alleys in the vicinity of the market through which one can walk all the way to the beach. In the Kerem HaTeimanim (The Yemenite Quarter), one of the neighborhoods adjacent to the market, there are popular and unique restaurants. Walking around on a summer day at the Carmel market is a wonderful experience of scents and tastes, even if you are not planning on doing your weekend shopping there.
