The Muslim Quarter is located behind the massive Drum tower - Just make sure you're on the right side of the road - The pedestrian underpasses can be a little confusing at first.
Rani had a business card with the address of a tea house on it - this was our mission for the afternoon! Find the tea house. We snaked our way through the Muslim Quarter markets (if you love shopping, you will love this market - It is full with everything- although there is a lot of counterfeit items - so be careful what you buy.)
Down a small alley way we found our tea house. The walls were lined with Jars of herbs and dried teas, the smell of jasmine hung in the air. Our host was amazing - She gave us a lesson on how to correctly brew different types tea. We sat down to a green tea and a black lychee tea with home made 'rusks', they weren't actually rusks but its the closes I can think to describe what they are.
The Muslim Quarter is full of street food, dried fruits and nuts - if you have time, stop by the puppet show for a traditional display of beautiful craftsmanship and storytelling.
No need to catch a cab here (well not from our hostel) The underpass pedestrian walkways make navigating the city easy - again - as long as you exit at the right turn off!
