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.
