You're describing a vibrant local market, bustling with a delightful array of fresh produce and culinary delights.
Imagine a sensory explosion: colorful piles of seasonal fruits and vegetables, from ruby-red tomatoes and leafy greens to golden mangoes and plump berries. The air is likely filled with the earthy scent of fresh soil mixed with the sweet fragrance of ripe produce.
Nearby, you'd find sections dedicated to meats and fish.

This is a colorful and dynamic market, and its prices are the cheapest in Israel. There are also great food stands in the market and its surroundings.

The town itself has no other highlights. Don't bother.

Vegies/fruits prices vary greatly from one stall to another, be sure to check the stalls around the center of the market.
Most prices are between 10 to 20% cheaper than a usual supermarket prices... So not so cheaper... Bargain is of the essence.
At 5pm it was crowded, not nice to walk around. Expect strong and stinky smells... But most roofed markets are...
