    Al-Shanini Market is one of the traditional markets located in the historic centre of Ta’iz, Yemen. The market has long served as an important commercial hub where merchants and craftsmen traded a variety of goods, including food products, textiles, and traditional household items. Its narrow lanes and closely built shops reflect the characteristic layout of medieval Yemeni marketplaces.
    The site is one of the elements included in the UNESCO Tentative List for World Heritage designation, The landmarks of Ta’iz City.
