MARCHÉ AUX POISSONS

The Mutrah fish market, with its innovative architectural concept, offers the luxury of clean, tiled and air-conditioned spaces, less local in color than the country's other markets, but better suited to the merchandise and the freshness of the products. Every day, fishermen gather here to display their catches, and the place is as much about the stalls as the spectacle offered by the sunburnt faces and the subtle interplay of trade... A large air-conditioned hall adjoining the market also houses a fruit and vegetable market.
