 Carmel Market by mafi_moya
Large crowds make their way along the street past the dozens of stalls from very first thing in the morning. Sweet-smelling bakeries, exotic fruits and spices, and fresh carcasses hanging from butcher's hooks mix with counterfeit designer clothes and electronic toys. The crumbling old buildings and dark narrow lanes, covered by tarpaulins, make for an atmospheric place to visit. This is as close as Tel Aviv gets to the traditional image of the exotic Middle Eastern souk - loud, lively, colourful and a melting pot of smells, sounds and sights.
It's fairly small, with one main street and numerous small alleyways and sidestreets running off it. To be honest, if you've been to souks or markets anywhere else in the Middle East (or Africa or Asia for that matter) this is likely to be a bit dull and disappointing. It's not really that lively, nor is it that interesting or exotic. But then I suppose everything is relative and compared to the rest of modern Tel Aviv this is probably as 'exotic' as you'll find!

 Ocean of olives by Nathalie_B
When my parents offered me to join them and go to the Market I of course said yes.
Vegetables, fruits, fish, meet, spices, clothes, everything can be found at the HaCarmel.
I enjoyed the celebration of the smells and colors.
Seeing the vendors, working hard selling their products, made me appreciate these people a lot. They get up at 5am every morning so we'll have the fresh food on our tables. They will be friendly with the tourists and will pose for the cameras. Some will handle a conversation about pretty much everything, you choose the topic. And some will try to sell you things that you don't even need, but you'll still buy it, just to remember the experience.
You're free to taste everything you like, the vendors will be happy to introduce you to whatever they sell. And of course, to feel like a local you're welcome to bargain, sometimes. It's a market after all. Leave a Comment Directions: Near Alenby St.

Every Middle Eastern town and city has one - the produce market where fresh fruit, vegetables, bread and dairy products can be purchased, and, to one side of the main drag, the foul smelling meat section. Tel Aviv is no exception. As with most of these places, if it was it was in Western Europe or North America, it would probably be closed down overnight and replaced with indoor, white tiled, sanitised, soulless environs. Thankfully, those rules do not apply here. Full of character, the real essence of Tel Aviv is caught here - especially on Friday as people shop to they drop for the fear of running out of food during shabbat -:) Leave a Comment Address: off Allenby St in the Yemenite Quarter

when in Tel-Aviv you must go for a meandder through the Carmel street market situated off Allenby Street. what a profusion of everything fruit veg clothing discs bric a brac you name it they have it. The venders are shouting their wares, you can see a real cross section of the Israeli population. If they ask for 10 shekels offer 5 and you will get it for 7..
