Smaller than the nearby Grand Bazaar, the Spice Bazaar, also known as the Egyptian Bazaar, was built in the 16th century and features rows of stalls selling spices, sweets, tea varieties, dried fruits, and other goods. A great place to shop for spices, Turkish delights, and other souvenirs, the Spice Bazaar is also a visual experience as the spice vendors prominently display their colorful wares in large, pyramid-like mounds.
Herbal remedies abound in the bazaar and you’ll find spices or edible seeds allegedly good for things like memory, immunity, digestion, and general well-being.
