Amman
Souk Sukkr
The area around the Husseini mosque remains the heart of Amman's bazaars. To the east lies a bustling warren of alleys known as the Souk Sukkr (Sugar Market), where stalls sell everything from dates and spices to soap and mops. To the west of the mosque, the main street funnelling traffic out of Downtown is King Talal Street, lined with stores selling ordinary household goods, fabric and bric-a-brac; a little way down on the left, hidden behind a row of shopfronts, is the city's main fruit and vegetable market.
