    The souq is constructed in the old style. Pathways between the shops are narrow.Only Arabic dress and sandals are sold in most shops. The other part of this souq contains different commodity shops

    A local market with a traditional and old character. It is an excellent destination for those looking for antique, old and traditional products. Among the existing stores, you can find shops of spices, perfumes, cooking supplies, tailors and clothes. In addition to this, there are traditional and local restaurants and cafes in the area.

    A historical site with traditional souq (market) wherein one can get all Arabian stuff like clothes (head to toe), footwear, spices, etc. This is where the local population comes to purchase, always crowded, parking is difficult to get during peak hours, paid parking, a must visit in Al Ahsa.

  • 4/5 Charisma S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I did not comment on it with five stars because it is not in its previous form ... as I knew it in the days of time ... On the one hand it was distinctive and unique, first with cheap prices, and secondly, you find a cobbler who makes and fixes local shoes at cheap prices and with high quality, for example ... You find rare hardware. .. You can find different types of oil perfumes with high quality and at a special price ... all of these days ago ... but now there is no advantage in it, even its shape has changed (Original) لم اعلق عليه بالخمس نجوم لانه ليس بشكله السابق... كما عرفته ايام زمان... من ناحية أنه كان مميز و منفرد اولا بالاسعار الرخيصة و ثانيا تجد الاسكافي يصنع و يصلح الاحذية المحلية باسعار رخيصة وبجودة عالية مثلا... تجد خردوات نادرة... تجد انواع العطور الزيتية بجودة عالية و بسعر مميز... كل ذلك ايام زمان.. اما الان لاتوجد به اي ميزة حتى شكله تغير

    A market full of history, a witness to the civilization of the region and the depth of its history, and a witness to the centrality of trade in the region. We advise everyone to visit the market if they are in Al-Ahsa.

  • 5/5 Ali P. 7 months ago on Google
    I visited the Qaisariya Al-Ahsa Souq recently and was very impressed with its size and atmosphere. The market is divided into several sections, each specializing in a different type of goods. I found everything from traditional abayas and perfumes to souvenirs and housewares. It is a historic market located in the Al-Rafa'ah district in Al-Ahsa, east of Saudi Arabia. It is one of the oldest and largest souks in the region, and is known for its wide variety of traditional goods, including jewelry, handicrafts, textiles, spices, dried fruits, and tea. The vendors at the souq were very friendly and welcoming. They were happy to answer my questions and help me find what I was looking for. I also appreciated the fact that the souq was clean and well-maintained. Overall, I had a great experience at Qaisariya Al-Ahsa Souq. It is a must-visit for anyone interested in learning about traditional Saudi Arabian culture and shopping for unique souvenirs. Here are some of the things I liked about the souq: The wide variety of goods available The friendly and welcoming vendors The clean and well-maintained environment The historical significance of the souq I would definitely recommend Qaisariya Al-Ahsa Souq to anyone visiting Al-Ahsa. It is a great place to learn about the region's culture and to find unique souvenirs. Here are some tips for visiting the souq: Wear comfortable shoes as you will be doing a lot of walking. Bring cash as many vendors do not accept credit cards. Be prepared to bargain. This is a traditional part of shopping in the souq. Take your time and explore all the different sections of the market.

    A must to visit in Al-Ahsa tour, for shopping and enjoying the traditional-style design for one of the oldest markets in the region, that was built in 1822 AD-1238 AH, and was recently renovated. The Qaisariah souq is one of the most famous historical markets in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, rich in historical sites including palaces, towers, mosques and traditional markets.

The Qaisariah souq consists of more than 422 shops and is distinguished by its architectural designs of closed corridors and elevated roofing. This offers the visitors good ventilation and natural light while walking in the market, and enables them to have a better grasp of the ancient heritage of the Eastern Province.

In 2001, a fire broke out in the market, killing 80% of the shops. And the Saudi government rebuilt it in the same old style.

    Qaisariah Souq As-salaamu alaykum dear Sisters and Brothers, Have been there twice in the last 2 years I have been living in Al Hofuf, Al-Ahsa. It's a beautiful heritage market that has a lot of traditional Saudi things. Its a must visit if you are in Al hofuf for the first time or moved here to stay. There are a lot of craft items, shops for traditional clothes for adults as well as children. Lots of colourful hand crafted footwear you will never find in other parts of the city. The entrance of the complex is very interesting as the doors and windows take you to a bygone era. I love visiting this place and I highly recommend you visit it in a group in the evenings when the place is lite up and gives you a feel of being in a market.

    Beautiful traditional old souq. People were ever so friendly, helpful and welcoming. Amazing atmosphere. One not to be missed!

  • 3/5 Tilesh Maharaj (. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic designed puposeful souq attempting an ancient feel. Rated it down due to variety. The souq has literally abayat/gothra and spices and this is repeated a few 10s of times in every alley. Would have liked a more middle Eastern variety with the myriad of possibilities showcased. Great potential, poor execution. OK for a 60min browse until repetition boredom is extreme. Also note (foreigners) that before 4pm any day is basically closed (or closing soon).
