Muslim Quarter

Cumin, bread, and a crush of people after dark. The food is real. The first stall you see is priced for the lane.

The Great Mosque is inside the quarter and is a working place of worship with its own modest entry rules. Cover up, and do not photograph people who are praying.

This is a walk from the Bell Tower. You do not need a tour to find it. You need the discipline to leave the main souvenir street.
