The Friday Market (Suq Al-Jum’a) and the Second-Hand Souk are side by side in an area close to Al Rai, called Khaldiyah. Located west of Road 55 it is well known to all taxi drivers and sells everything from tin pots and old TVs to carpets and trinkets. While the name suggests that it is only open on Fridays, it actually opens on Thursday afternoons, which tends to be a quieter time to visit. The market covers a large area so give yourself plenty of time to have a really good rummage. Good buys include wooden and brass artefacts, many from old colonial hotels or ships. Check that whatever you buy works before you leave as exchanges are generally not allowed.
