Madinah: A Shopping Adventure with Al Maqam Travel Agency

A Shopping Tapestry Woven with Tradition and Modernity

The Shopping Gems of Madinah

• Islamic Souvenirs: Discover prayer beads (Misbaha), prayer rugs (Sajjada), intricately designed Qur'an stands ( Rihal Al-Quran Al-Kareem), and elegant Islamic wall art (Lawahat Islamiyyah)—perfect keepsakes for yourself or thoughtful gifts for loved ones back home.
  
  
• Traditional Garments: Discover a variety of Umrah Ihram garments, prayer attire (Thobes and Abayas), cozy scarves, and head coverings that are chic and glamorous. Our guide can help you choose the best!
  
  
• Dates (Tamr): The food in Madinah is famous for its sticky dates, which are not a snack to be missed out on. Tasting the selection of varieties, from the popular Medjool to the premium Ajwa samples, is a must. On the other hand, just purchase this healthy stuff as a memento or gift someone a package of dates.
  
  
• Spices and Herbs (Buharat): Explore the spicy atmosphere of the flavorful spices of Madinah. Discover the comfort of Baharat (a mix of peppercorns, cardamom, cloves, and many more spices) and Za’atar (a blend of thyme leaves, oregano herb, sumac powder, and sesame seeds). These national and culinary traditions will be the source of your home cooking magic.
  
  
• Handicrafts: Grab a chance to stock your cupboards with hand-crafted products. Strike a balance between the fine line of an embroidered textile, the vibrant colors of a traditionally woven ornate prayer rug, and intricate metalwork souvenirs with a display of local artisans' skills.
  
  

Beyond the Souks: Unique Shopping Experiences

• Madinah Dates Festival: Enjoy the festival and make the most of it if your trip overlaps with it. Taste different types of dates, participate in oriental harvesting technology, which is purely related to date crops, and buy your favorite date-based fruits. Al maqam Travel Agency is an excellent tool for you to make your travel arrangements so as to let you enjoy this very big festival!
  
  
• Local Artisanal Workshops: Visit this side of the touristic markets and look for objects brought from the workshops of local artisans, made by the same hands with the same techniques as those from olden times. Take in how skilled artisans will be making such carpets, intricate needlework, and artistic pottery. These tours, with our personal guides, will offer a visit to the workshops and allow you to talk to the artisans directly.
