Dates for sale in a Madinah market

Madinah markets and a date tasting

A walk through the date and perfume markets with a tasting of Madinah's best-known varieties.

Madinah

We walk between the date shops near the Prophet's Mosque and learn about Ajwa, Safawi and Sukkari and how they are stored. We taste five varieties with Arabic coffee, then pass through the perfume market. You will be able to buy with confidence, without a rush.
