The Spice Bazaar is sometimes refered to as the Egyptian Bazaar, due to the fact that many spices were imported via Egypt.
Turks know it as the Kapali Carsi, and the massive, sprawling roofed Grand Bazaar is one of the main tourist attractions in the city of Istanbul . Its seemingly labyrinthine structure is easier to navigate than it looks, and snakes past wares of every imaginable kind.

These lamps are sold in a lot of places, but the density is probably the highest in the great bazaar as the shops are so small that every square inch is being used, sometimes creating very colourful intensity.
Unfortunately I had no tripod with me, and the OIS could not completely remove the long exposure focus problems.
The interior of the Spice Bazaar, an L-shaped market with barrel vaulted ceilings. You can find wonderful spices, sweet meats, caviar, honey, nuts and things of that nature as well as tourist trinkets.
The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul is one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world, with more than 58 covered streets and over 4,000 shops. Construction began in 1455 (just two years after the Ottoman conquest), and the Grand Bazaar opened in 1461. The sprawling complex consists of 12 major buildings and has 22 doors.
This colourful and chaotic bazaar is the heart of the Old City and has been so for centuries. Starting as a small vaulted bedesten (warehouse) built by order of Mehmet the Conqueror in 1461, it grew to cover a vast area as laneways between the bedesten , neighbouring shops and hans (caravanserais) were roofed and the market assumed the sprawling, labyrinthine form that it retains today.
When here, be sure to peep through doorways to discover hidden hans , veer down narrow laneways to watch artisans at work and wander the main thoroughfares to differentiate treasures from tourist tack. It's obligatory to drink lots of tea, compare price after price and try your hand at the art of bargaining. Allow at least three hours for your visit

This market has an interesting past, according to which it is said that this region was very popular for the charming girls who used to dance during the 19th century. The word ‘Chawri’ has been derived from a Marathi word meaning meeting place.
The place was called as Chawri because in the earlier days, a meeting or sabha would take place in front of the house of a noble. The noble would try to settle disputes before it reached the court of the emperor. Thus it used to be the meeting place of all influential persons.Besides there used to be a huge gathering when the beautiful dancers used to show their repertoire in their skills and the crowd used to get enticed by such performances. Thus we can say that this place attracted a large number of crowds and was called Chawri Bazar. However the entire scenario changed after 1857, when the British destroyed the houses of various nobles.
Now Chawri Bazaar is a wholesale market located to the west of Jama Masjid and a famous market to selling specialized products like copper, brass and paper items

Pasar ini memiliki masa lalu yang menarik, menurut yang dikatakan bahwa daerah ini sangat populer untuk para gadis menawan yang digunakan sebagai arena menari selama abad ke-19. Kata 'Chawri' adalah penjabaran dari kata Marathi berarti tempat pertemuan.
Tempat ini disebut sebagai Chawri karena dulunya ada sebuah pertemuan (sabha) berlangsung di depan rumah salah seorang yang dianggap mulia atau sesepuh. Para sespuh ini akan mencoba untuk menyelesaikan suatu sengketa sebelum berlanjut ke pengadilan kaisar. Oleh karena itu disini digunakan sebagai tempat pertemuan para orangp-orang berpengaruh. Selain itu dulu juga ada pertemuan besar ketika para penari cantik berkumpul memamerkan keterampilan mereka dan semua orang yang berkumpul dibuat tertarik dengan pertunjukan tersebut. Dengan demikian kita dapat mengatakan bahwa tempat ini menarik perhatian bagi orang banyak dan disebut Chawri Bazar. Namun seluruh skenario ini telah berubah setelah 1857, ketika Inggris menghancurkan rumah-rumah para bangsawan.
Kini Chawri Bazar adalah pasar grosir yang terletak disebelah barat Masjid Jama' dan terkenal menjual produk khusus seperti tembaga, kuningan dan barang-barang kertas
Richard haggled for a sultan's hat and had the vendor down to quite a bargain but ended up not buying it because it was too small. We didn't buy any belly dancing costumes, either, but we could have.
this not very impressive photo is a happy time. We were wandering around the dark streets of Istanbul (6pm. and it was pit black, all small businesses closing) I was positive the grand bazaar would be closed too, but when we found this entrance, I realized we were still on time for more fun :)
Grand Bazaar - Istanbul. This amazing place has been around for longer than most of us. Its a feast of goods and always, colour - the life-blood of all things Turkish. The men in Grand Bazaar can be quite pushy - just a "No Thanks" should let them know you are "just browsing"
It's busy, it's full of tourists and it's a must see in Istanbul.

"I will help you spend your money; no money no honey" and "I like Benjamin - do you like Benjamin?" and "My cousin spent 3 years in Boulder - come see my rugs!" were common refrains at the Grand Bazzar.
