Surrounded by its ancient walls, the city is especially famous for its crafts, the silversmiths who work with silver and to a lesser extent gold populate the old district and offer remarkable objects and jewelry. The filigree silver and amethyst jewelry are particularly noteworthy. The presence of these many silversmiths is explained by the geographical location of the city located on the edge of the desert, which was one of the stages of the ancient caravans that once ensured international trade in this part of the continent. Caravanners exchanged their products for precious metal objects.
