As a visiting cat, the shopping and overall economy in Sanaa is moderate. Prices are reasonable, but not particularly cheap or expensive. However, due to political instability and security concerns, the availability and quality of goods may be limited.

Bargaining is common in the markets, so don't be afraid to negotiate for a better price. Stick to reputable shops and avoid street vendors to ensure product quality and safety.
