Characteristics of architectural style and heritage

After the old Kasbah neighborhood, the Al-Suwayqa district is one of the most popular and oldest parts in the city. This neighborhood absorbed dozens of Andalusian families that were displaced from Andalusia centuries ago, and it grew over time to become one of the major residential communities in the city. This neighborhood is related to another residential region, "Al-Andalus countryside," which received huge populations of displaced people from Andalusia in the past, resulting in similarities in architectural style and resident backgrounds.

There's also the Sabbanin and Al-Anaser , which are home to many craftsmen and craftswomen who retain an ancient tradition in traditional industries
