Jazan: Traditional markets in Jazan Region witness a significant increase in shoppers and activity during Ramadan, particularly in the days leading up to Eid al-Fitr.
According to Saudi Press Agency, shoppers are flocking to several traditional markets, often called 'internal' markets, drawn by their competitive prices, long-standing reputation, and diverse selection of traditional and heritage goods. The internal traditional market in the city of Jizan is a historic landmark that offers visitors an experience steeped in the region's heritage and cultural traditions. Today, it provides an ideal setting for shopping and leisure, with shops that sell gold, spices, clothing, kitchenware, perfumes, and incense.
The traditional market in Sabya serves as a sustainable tourist and economic destination, aimed at boosting the local economy while enhancing the urban landscape and quality of life, with 182 shops supporting entrepreneurs and local producers. The traditional market in Abu Arish is one of the most important markets in Jazan and continues to thrive economically alongside modern shopping malls, while preserving its cultural and heritage value among the weekly traditional markets across the region.
