[Egyptian Bazaar | A spice market filled with aromas and colors]

— A historic market experience in Istanbul that stimulates the senses —

The Egyptian Bazaar (Mısır Çarşısı) is a large spice market that has been in operation since the 17th century in the Eminonu district of Istanbul's old town.

It is also called the Egyptian Bazaar, and its name comes from the fact that goods from Egypt were once traded here.

The market is packed with spices, nuts, dried fruits, sweets, Turkish coffee, herbal tea, and more!

Surrounded by colorful displays and sweet, spicy aromas, just walking around is enough to get you excited✨
