The Souks Sights

Souk Sabbaghine (dyers' souk)

Aside from shopping, there are a number of sights in the souk area.

Of the souks themselves, the ones which are most worth seeing are:

There's also Souk Semarine, which is the main road into the souks, Rahba Kedima, an open square just off it, and the Kissaria, a covered souk for clothes.

On the west side of the souk area, west of the dyers' souk, is the Mouassine Mosque and the Jardin Secret, and a little to their north, the Musée de la Femme.

Place Ben Youssef is also nearby.
