Shuk HaCarmel( Carmel Market)

Carmel Market is centrally located in the city center of Tel Aviv off of Allenby St. The market sells an abundance of products ranging from the typical T-shirt souvenir stands, to Judaica, to hookah stores, to produce, bread, cheese, seafood, and meats. Its central location makes it a stop for many visitors to the city. Most of the food products on sale at the Carmel Market are always what is fresh and available during the season. So if you want fresh strawberries out of season you will not be able to find them at Carmel Market. The neighborhoods that surround the market are also worth adventuring around. Every Tuesday and Friday there is the Nachalat Binyamin Street Market, which is adjacent to the Carmel Market. There are also a multitude of great restaurants with the market and surrounding it as well. A good meal is not far when you are in the area surrounding the Carmel Market. Like many other businesses, the Carmel Market is closed on Shabbat. While it is not the only market, it is one of most visited markets in the city and in Israel. I highly recommend stoppping at the Carmel Market and taking your time walking through the stalls. If you are a fan of hummus there is a great hummus restaurant located in the center of market called Hummus HaCarmel. All in all if you are visiting Tel Aviv, please make the Carmel Market a stop.
