The Story

Commercial Market takes some strategic planning and local knowledge to get the shopping done successfully. Visiting periods are best in the morning between the hours 11 AM to 2 PM or in the early evening as crowds are easy to handle and the vendors are at their best. It is recommended to be ready to bargain with shoppers since most of the shops require price bargaining, especially when buying non branded products and in bulk. 

 

In most small vendor stalls, cash is the king; hence, you are advised to carry enough local cash because they may not have card payment options. Comfortable walk shoes are also necessary as the market is busy and one has to walk through crowded areas and lanes. The market is especially congested during the seasons of Eid and weddings and it sells the most variety and eventual discounts on products. Customers are urged to be patient at such peak seasons as they enjoy the benefits of seasonal deals. When buying pre-made garments, it is essential to reconsider sizes and quality of stitches as well to guarantee that one will be satisfied with the choice.
