The historic Egyptian Bazaar (Mısır Çarşısı) is one of the most famous and beloved shopping centers in Istanbul, Turkey. Located in the Eminönü quarter of the Fatih district, this lively covered complex was built in 1660 with revenues from the Ottoman eyalet of Egypt. Visitors to the bustling bazaar can find a vast array of spices, Turkish delight and other sweets, jewellery, souvenirs, and dried fruits and nuts spread across 85 shops. With over 300 years of history, it is a must-see destination for any traveler to experience the unique aromas and abundant colors and haggling of this one-of-a-kind marketplace. Enjoy the sights, smells, and sounds of the Spice Bazaar! The best part is that you can taste everything before buying it! I highly recommend the apple tea, pomegranate tea and turkish delights.
