Souk El Tayeb

The land, the people, the history, the food and the traditions underpin the very existence of Souk El Tayeb.

Souk El Tayeb has evolved since 2004 from an experimental farmers market promoting small-scale farmers and producers, to an innovative social enterprise  working on both, national and international projects to develop and preserve culinary traditions, rural heritage and the natural environment.

Tayeb holds several meanings in Arabic…Tayeb as “good”, Tayeb as “tasty” or Tayeb as “good hearted” when talking about a person.
Souk El Tayeb celebrates the food and traditions that unite communities and support small-scale farmers, producers and the culture of sustainable agriculture. It creates environments that bring people of different regions and beliefs together – encouraging organic, eco-friendly practices, contributing to local communities, leading research and educational campaigns about food traditions and heritage, and promoting a healthy lifestyle.
