About this tip
Dates are the souvenir everyone takes home, and vendors in the date markets expect you to ask for samples. Taste a few varieties such as ajwa, sukkari or safawi, and make polite offers rather than hard bargaining. Prices are higher near the center, so go to the big market on the outskirts for more choice. Ask the shop to vacuum-seal the boxes for the flight.
