Carmel Market (Shuk Ha-Carmel)
At the intersection of Allenby, Nahalat Binyamin, King George, and Sheinkin streets, you enter a gigantic, throbbing, open-air, food-plus-everything-else market filled with sights and sounds. Here vendors hawk pistachios and guavas, sun hats and fresh hummus, the catch of the day in one aisle, memorial candles in the next, and more and more and more. Don’t rush through. You want to stop and talk because here the vendors are as interesting as the goods. Yes, it’s a crazily chaotic place, but at the Carmel market, the heart of the city beats. A must see experience.
