The Spice Souk
After visiting the gold souk, we went over to the spice souk. We were having trouble finding it but as soon as we turned 1 corner, we knew we were there. The smells of spices was wonderful. The street was lined with stores full of spices.
Once we chose a store, we asked if we could buy some saffron. My girls LOVE saffron rice. I was mistaken by the color, though. I thought saffron was yellow. I guess the red spice turns the rice a yellowish color as it cooks.
See video of the store....
We then decided we wanted some hot curry, cumin and chile powder. To prepare for going through customs, we had to make sure all spices were packaged.
The spice souk was very busy. This video is of the spice souk street.....
