Master Market

Culinary Tours of the Carmel Market
and Yemenite Quarter

The perfect mix of taste, flavour and
culture

Every city has its own unique
market, and nothing captures
the essence of the city like a visit
the local market. Experience
the flavours, scents and cultures of Israel
with a culinary tour of the biggest open air
market in Tel Aviv – Shuk HaCarmel [Carmel
Market]. Your taste buds, and all your other
senses for that matter, will become giddy at
this tasty party full of great food and amazing
wine.

On this special tour, you will meet
extraordinary people and visit hidden and
magical places inside the market that are off
the beaten track. Sip the coffee, savour the
herbs and spices, and enjoy incredible tahini
and superb halva made right on site.

Offered in three languages (English, Russian
and Hebrew), this extraordinary tour is a
must! And, just to entice you some more,
the following is a first-hand account of the
Master Market experience.

Master Market – a wonderful
surprise

My friends and I were on our first ever
trip to Israel and came across the tour on
TripAdvisor. We saw great reviews and
decided to register. Our guide, Christina,
welcomed us with a glass of white wine.
It was so good, and I was pleasantly

Jerusalem.

Our meeting point was on Rambam Street,
which is a great street to visit especially
in the evening, when there are great jazz
venues. During day, it’s a bustling street
dotted with lots of cafes and artistic shops.

Elad's Falafel

Then it was on to our second stop… the
highly authentic Elad's Falafel. Elad is a
second generation falafel maker. His mother
makes the secret mixture every morning. He
