What Works Well

  • Market Dromedare is an easy add-on when crowd level is low and the city’s outdoor sights are the main draw.

What Needs Planning

  • January nights drop to 10.3°C, so evening time around Borj and other outdoor stops ends earlier.

  • January has less of the March-to-April build in atmosphere, so the market and landmarks can feel more restrained than later in the season.
