Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Fun experience in this lively and bustling market located within the Old Acre City Walls. Explore the vendors through the maze of covered and protected narrow alleyways, under the element-protection of archways. Vendors are also located in the open-air square. Colorful, congested and loud, we emerged from the Bazaar without a purchase, but enjoyed perusing the offerings.

Been there with my family , we enjoy the market environment,the good food and the nice people .
The knight halls r just around the corner and so r the ancient fortress. Watching the sunset while drinking wine and nibbling traditional food in one of the restaurant there was a sensational moment.

The covered bazar has not changed in time, and will allow you to relive shopping in the middle ages, condiments, fish, food, utensils all in the same bazar. A middle ages shopping mall.....

Note - this is a duplicate listing for the "Old Acre Market"
First of all - this is a real market for the real people who live here - so it is busiest in the morning when fresh produce is out, especially the fresh fish! Other times the market is less busy.
Although not primarily for tourists, many tourists come through so there is some items of interest, mostly of the cheaper variety - but there are some fine stores including one of jewellery and religious items. Tere is also one good restaurant.
BUT what is special is that this market, the old city and in fact all of the Galilee, shows the truth, how in general Arabs and Jews live together in Israel. It is not the "apartheid state" as some portray.
Walk through the passageways of the market and feel welcome and safe - enjoy Arab Israeli culture and see an Arab peple who uniquely in the Middle East have freedom and the vote.

At the end of the Turkish Bazar on the right side if you enter through the Shuk, there is a little nice Bar, open also at night. Be aware, as the nice owner gives out faked 100 Shekel bills as change!

This is not a very big bazaar so it is possible to visit as part of the day trip to this old town. The merchandise are pretty standard though.

I enjoyed this more than the Arabic Quarter in Jerusalem, and I wish I had more time to properly explore the stands. You'll feel like you're in another world here, surrounded by stands with clothes, food, spices, and handcrafted goods. I would definitely try to spend at least an hour giving things a leisurely look.

This shuk doesn't hold a candle to other markets in Israel and beyond. A vendor kept crying... we have dust collectors, tsotchkes and gold. He was right on the first two! Crowded with tourists buying overpriced stuff.
