Egyptian Bazaar Review

The Spice Bazaar (Turkish: Mısır Çarşısı, meaning "Egyptian Bazaar") in Istanbul, Turkey is one of the largest bazaars in the city. Located in the Eminönü quarter of the Fatih district, it is the most famous covered shopping complex after the Grand Bazaar.

It is said that it is a spice market. In fact, the things sold are similar to the Grand Bazaar. The carpet scarf colored ceramic plates, some shops and basements, the bosses will speak a few words in Chinese. Hello, come in and see my things are very cheap, hahaha, in fact, it is not cheap at all, the stained glass lights look beautiful, Look carefully at the switch plug and Yiwu goods are still a few grades. Just go shopping and don't start easily.

The spice market, not far from Grand Bazaar, is Istanbul's largest and oldest spice market, built in the 1760s. In addition to selling all kinds of spices, there are also various other arts and crafts, only a little smaller, so the price will be a little cheaper. Vendors can speak a little Chinese and greet them when they enter the door. They are very polite and friendly. They can take photos with them. They are very generous.

It's a good small market. It sells a lot of spices, Turkish fudge and other sweets. It also sells scarves and pottery. It's as crowded as the rest of Istanbul, but it's worth visiting. I bought some beautiful cashmere scarves and cotton scarves. Personally, I think the price is very good. You don't feel like you need to bargain. It's very close to our hotel, so I visited it twice and loved it very much.

The spice market in Egypt was built in 1660 and completed in the seventeenth century. It is an L-shaped building. There are six outlets and more than a hundred shops. There are various spices and natural medicines, as well as cheese, jam, dried fruits, Turkish famous bacon and desserts. Of course, a variety of Arts and crafts and tourist goods are also dazzling. Originally part of the Jeni Mosque, rents were collected from businesses in the market to maintain various charitable activities in the city mosque. The reason it was called the Egyptian market was that it mainly sold all kinds of goods from Cairo at that time.

Quickly farewell to the Jeni Mosque, we came to the spice market next to it, which is also a good place for rainy days. Most of the stalls in the spice market sell food. In addition to various colorful spices and fudge, there are also various kinds of flower tea, nuts, dried fruits and so on. Because of the fierce competition, each store has the same price and slightly different taste. You can try it and then decide which one to buy. The price can be cut slightly, but there is little room for reduction. I recommend you to buy pistachios here, about 40 lira per kilogram, fried very fragrant, ten times better than domestic. Spice market is not only the preferred place to buy gourmet food, but also the second place to buy tourist souvenirs. 1 Lira's blue-eyed key buckles are not sloppy at all. There are also a variety of fragrant olive oil soaps worth buying.
