You will be able to buy almost anything here, There are two sections: the produce markets and the arts & crafts market. It is very easy to spend half a day inspecting the fabulous fruit and vegetables and wander around the arts & crafts. More

The Shuk is a place that you should not miss when in Tel Aviv. We purchased good quality fruits and vegetables as well as souvenir tshirts at reasonable prices. The clouds were huge the day we were there but that only adds to the ambiance. More

Fantastic, vibrant public market that captures the Israeli spirit. Go early for best selection and maximum intensity. On an earlier visit, made the mistake of visiting at end of day when vendors were shutting down. Smelly garbage thrown into massive heaps in the center corridor. Best to avoid. More

I love this Market. It has fresh fruit, breads, sweets, toiletries and clothes. You can get all the typical Israeli souvenirs plus different things. The sellers aren't prepared to haggle that much which is a shame but most things are cheap. Great fun to wander amongst the stalls and soaking up the atmosphere. More

My husband and I were visiting Tel Aviv in Nov 2011 and we enjoyed the fresh persimmon smoothies and freshly made spice blends (for cooking at home). Its a wonderful place to see fresh produce and local must-haves. Its an open air market with little roof cover so re-schedule your trip for a dry day. Many vendors don't show up... More
