In contrast to the well-planned new cities, the old city is a labyrinth of alleys and lanes lined with shops, mosques, homes and schools. In 1980 UNESCO designated the medina a World Heritage Site. We will start with visiting the Royal Palace and Jewish quarter, then theological schools and several mosques. Our guide will take us to the medina to view the market shops or souks.
