The beating heart of Nablus and the best place to start any trip to the city is the mesmerising Old City, with the Al Qasaba (Casbah). The labyrinthine market is brimming with spice stalls, piles of fresh fruit and vegetables, pastry stands, clothes racks, jewellery and a whole lot more, while there is not a single tour group in sight.
Several leather tanneries, potteries and textile workshops also line the narrow, winding and chaotic streets. It is also the perfect place to sample the local delicacy, kunafeh.
