Name of Shop: Spices Muakat
There is a realtively new shop on Salah ed Din Street which is beautyfully decorated and has a great selection on spices. If you don't want to get lost in the Old City, looking for the spices you would like to bring home to impress your friends and family, this is the place to go.
Even the israeli Haaretz had a report on it:
A taste of the Muslim Quarter
By Michal Palti
"Muakat, an orderly, meticulously run spice shop opened on Salah a-Din about a year ago. Every imaginable spice, from lavender to saffron, is displayed on wooden shelves - one will not find sacks of spices resting on the floor in this establishment. Prices range from a few to hundreds of shekels per 100 grams, and the service is excellent"
