Habous




A habous is a market where you can find anything from cookies to rugs to lampshades. We had a guide (one of the Arabic teachers at the school) tour us around and explain a bit of the history. In Islamic law, a habous is an area that can be neither sold or exchanged. I only bought some olives while I was there, but will be returning for more beautiful stuff. :)
