Egyptian Bazaar

In the old part of Istanbul is the Egyptian Bazaar, the Egyptian Market or the Spice Market, as it is also called. This is one of the largest markets in Istanbul, where you can find a huge variety of spices. Not the last place in the number here is occupied by all sorts of sweets. Initially, the market was called the “new” market. Later it became "Egyptian", as the bulk of sweets and spices came to the market from India through Egypt.

The Egyptian Bazaar is located in the European part of Istanbul on Emenyu Square. Near it is the New Mosque and the shore of the Golden Horn Bay. Getting there is convenient by taxi.
