Spice Bazaar, Istanbul

Spice Bazaar or Egyptian Bazaar (or Misir Carsisi in Turkish) is one of the oldest and most important covered markets of Istanbul. Goods from Egypt used to be sold here. At present, it sells spices and other gift items to visitors who drop by to shop while soaking up the atmosphere. One of the most visited spots in Istanbul, it is consequently still a meeting point of diverse cultures, as it has been the case throughout its history.
