★★★★★8 months agoAl Kakiyyah Wholesale Market in Makkah is a very good place for shopping at reasonable prices. I recently visited and bought some beautiful hijabs and dresses for kids, along with different types of dates. The variety is excellent — you can find clothes, perfumes, prayer mats, household items, and many more things all in one place. The market is quite clean and organized compared to many other busy markets. Shops are close to each other, so it’s easy to move around and compare prices. The quality of items is good, especially the fabric and dates. It’s a nice spot for buying gifts and family items before returning home. You do need to bargain a little, as most shopkeepers quote higher prices first, but if you negotiate politely, they reduce the rate. The shopkeepers are friendly and helpful, and the overall environment feels safe for families. I would definitely recommend visiting Al Kakiyyah Market if you’re in Makkah and want to do some local shopping. You get good products, fair deals, and a real taste of local Saudi market life.
