Artisan Interaction: Visitors can engage with the local craftsmen, learning about their techniques and the inspiration behind their work, which adds a unique cultural experience to the shopping.
Bargaining: Bargaining is common and expected, but it is important to play fair, considering the time and effort that goes into creating some of the crafts.
Payment: Carrying local currency (cash) is recommended for smoother transactions with vendors.
Safety: The market is generally considered safe at any time, but it is wise to not flash large amounts of money or jewelry, as in any busy market environment.
