— In-game description

Hustings Strip is an area in Ul'dah - Steps of Thal. The Hustings Strip is not a separate zone from the Steps of Thal because you do not cross a load screen to get there.
Instead, access is via staircases off of the Gold Court. There is an Aethernet Shard for the Alchemists' Guild and The Royal Promenade, as well.

Landmarks

The Royal Promenade

During times when the sultan had sole rule over the city-state, the Promenade would serve as an ersatz waiting chamber for those petitioners who sought audience with His Resplendence in the Fragrant Chamber. Now, with power in the hands of the Syndicate, the round is empty, save for the occasional tryst betwixt young nobles.

Scholars' Walk

This wide corridor leads to Frondale's Phrontistery-the institution itself built upon property purchased from the Sultansworn. It is not lost on those who tread these halls that a place once reserved for soldiers trained to kill is now home to those studying the arts of healing.

Frondale's Phrontistery

Though Frondale's Phrontistery began as a means of training palace physicians, it has since grown to house seven different faculties of medicine, ranging from the traditional to the alchemical and beyond. The Phrontistery also operates an infirmary, though the care it offers is a luxury only the wealthiest can afford.

Additional Information

The Hustings Strip's non-zone status can be easily demonstrated by leaping from The Royal Promenade to the Gold Court below, which is required for Sightseeing Log number 15.
