The Abdali flea market has become a favorite past time of mine on Fridays. The first time I visited merely to look around and see whether I could find a few cheap things of use. I mostly browsed through the rows and rows of womens clothing, keeping an eye out for items I liked. After a second visit the clothes seemed lmore and more the same, but my eyes were opened to the incredible variety of items sold. From spices to books to Jewelry to perfume to dishes to quite literally the kitchen sink (or at least the faucet), you can find it in Abdali on a Friday. The fruits and vegetables alone make a visit worthwhile, and I came back home with pomegranates, figs, guavas and lentils for mere pennies. But even more than the items for sale, I love the atmosphere of the flea market. It is in some ways reminiscent of the souks deep in the heart of the old medina of Fes in Morocco. With so many tents and pathways and people the area at the bottom of the Abdali bus station becomes its own old world city every single Friday.
