About
Whether you buy something or not (he's not cheap), this should be your first stop for jewelry. For 30 years, Sidi Nasser has been selling both antique and original jewelry. The shop now has a carved-wood frontage and is air-conditioned, but the service and craftsmanship are steeped in tradition. His English-speaking staff are happy to explain the history behind each design and the materials used. Examples include necklaces made from trade beads of Tibetan turquoise and Afghani lapis, and black coral encrusted in silver. Open daily from 9am to 8pm.
