A good way to get to know a Malaysian town is to visit its markets, the economic centre of the community. Siti Khadijah Market is named after Prophet Muhammad's entrepreneurial wife. A fitting name for a market mostly run by women.

This market has something for everyone, from fresh produce to traditional crafts and cakes. It is also a slice of life in Kelantan, abuzz with colour, scents and sounds of the local community.

Key Tips:

By all means, take photos, but if you want to take close-ups of the sellers with their vibrantly coloured wares, it's a good idea to ask for permission first.

How to get there:
By foot/taxi:
The Siti Khadijah Market (Central Market) is on Jalan Hulu.
