The most popular local shopping spot in Riyadh is the Souq al-Thumairi, located close to the Masmak Fort. It is one of the best places to visit in Riyadh to buy handicrafts, antiques, perfume, traditional clothes, jewellery, and more. Famous for its antique auctions, it is also known as the Antique Souq due to its wide range of antique collectables such as coffee pots, silver daggers, vases, lamps, etc.
Souq is the Arabic word for the street market, categorised by vibrant local shops and hustle-bustle. The Souq al Thumairi is also famous for its hot Arabic coffee and sweet sticky dates, which are the holy fruit for most Middle Easterners. Several restaurants nearby specialise in traditional food.
