Public Markets
Weekly public markets are widespread in the governorate. These markets usually are situated in crowded centers, to give the largest number of people the opportunity to benefit from them. The markets move from place to place during the week on a fixed round. Each market takes it name from the day of week on which it is held: suq al-sabt (the Saturday market), suq al-ahad (the Sunday market), etc. These markets sell agricultural and livestock products, and also the diverse craft products of the inhabitants of villages near the markets. Dhamar city hosts a weekly market called suq al-rabu’ (the Wednesday market), but it also contains a permanent market. The latter market, distinguished by the diversity of products for sale, is divided into numerous sub-markets such as the grain market, the jambiyyah market, the coffee market, the fodder market, the bread market, etc.

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or markets:
“George Shears ... was hanged in a barn near the store. The rope was thrown over a beam, and he was asked to walk up a ladder to save the trouble of preparing a drop for him. “Gentlemen,” he said, “I am not used to this business. Shall I jump off or slide off?” He was told to jump.”
—For the State of Montana, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“A free-enterprise economy depends only on markets, and according to the most advanced mathematical macroeconomic theory, markets depend only on moods: specifically, the mood of the men in the pinstripes, also known as the Boys on the Street. When the Boys are in a good mood, the market thrives; when they get scared or sullen, it is time for each one of us to look into the retail apple business.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
