The Egyptian Bazaar Istanbul, more commonly known as the Spice Bazaar, is a marvel of vibrant colors, robust aromas and exotic flavors. It is considered one of the oldest bazaars in the world and the most popular tourist attraction in Istanbul today. Located in Eminonu on the European side of the city, it has been a bustling market for centuries, offering spices, dried fruits, nuts and teas from around the world.
The bazaar dates back to 1660 when it first opened as part of Yeni Mosque complex. It was designed to be an open-air market with an area dedicated to foreign merchants and traders from Egypt, Syria and elsewhere. The stunning architecture features two stories with a domed roof and numerous entrances from each side. Inside you will find over 88 shops spread across four sections: produce; condiments and spices; pickles; tea, grains and beans. Each shop offers its own unique array of products with bright colors that are sure to attract your attention.
The distinctive flavors inside the bazaar will tantalize your senses with everything from rose petals to cinnamon sticks, saffron threads to Turkish delight sweets. A popular item among visitors is cay (black tea) which can be found at many of the vendors here. You'll also find hard-to-find items such as sumac berries or Aleppo pepper along with traditional gifts such as jewelry boxes or hand painted ceramics.
Aside from its sheer variety of products available for purchase, what makes this place so special are its friendly owners who are always willing to share their knowledge about Turkish culture and history or even give you free samples of some intriguing delicacies! Once you've gathered all your spices, take time to stroll around Eminonu Square where you can admire local street musicians or grab a bite at one of the nearby cafes before heading home with your purchases taken straight out of antiquity!
