In the old city, between Al-Ameriya mosque and the hill, is placed the suq. All along narrow and dirty streets, between walls and houses of the old city, are placed the workshops and merchants of the suq. Usually, each street have a kind of commerce.

Walking in the evening is a giood experience, but be aware, don´t get lost !

Around Rada´s old city still remain some parts of the ancient walls that defended the city form its enemies. Specially in the western gate.
Inside the old city, you can admire some typical houses and buildings. In Rada, lowers floors were builded of stone, and uppers floors of mud, being a mixture between lowlands and highlands building styles.
Windows are often decorated with archs and other figures.
