  • On this page you will find key questions and answers about the MachaneYehuda market. If you have any questions that do not appear below, please contact us and we will be happy to answer.

    What are the opening hours of the market?

    Machane Yehuda market is open every weekday except during the Sabbath and on holidays.

    Sunday through Thursday, the market is open from 8:00 to 19:00.
    On Fridays, the market is open from 8:00 to approximately 15:00.

    On Saturday evening, the market is closed but most of its cafes and restaurants are open.  

    When is the best time to visit the market?

    We recommend visiting the market on weekdays from 9:30 to 17:00.
    Although the market is already open at 8:00m, most shop owners and stalls will be busy arranging merchandise and organizing their workday. They are likely to be less attentive and available to properly welcome you.
    While the market remains open after 17:00, it is possible that some shops will be closing for the day and produce won’t be as fresh as it was earlier in the day.

    Where can you find public restroom facilities in the market area?

    For your convenience, there are three public restroom facilities in the MachaneYehuda Market.

    A. On Eitz HaChaim St., near the entrance to Agripas St. (Women only).

    B. On the corner of HaShazif St. and MachaneYehuda St. (Men and Women).

    C.  On the corner of HaTapuach St. and MachaneYehuda St. (Men only).

    When are MachaneYehuda open events held?
