About
The alleys around the Sunan Ampel mosque in Surabaya's Arab quarter form a lively souvenir market. Stalls sell many varieties of dates, Middle Eastern chocolate, nuts and raisins (classic hajj and umrah gifts), as well as dodol and jenang sweets. Dress modestly, since you are walking through a pilgrimage area.
