Description
The Egyptian Bazaar is often called the Spice Bazaar because of its many spice shops. A century or two ago, its merchants sold such things as cinnamon, gunpowder, rabbit fat, pine gum, peach-pit powder, sesame seeds, sarsaparilla root, aloe, saffron, liquorice root, donkey's milk and parsley seeds, all to be used as folk remedies.
The market was constructed in the 1660s as part of the Yeni Cami complex, the rents from the shops going to support the mosque's upkeep and charitable activities. These included a school, baths, hospital and fountains (Source: Lonely Planet, Turkey, 2001).

Great eye for this perspective.... great crowd shot here!
I wonder how much has changed in 350 years! Obviously no electric lights or neon. Those slanted skylights would have been a necessity! It makes me wonder what this place will look like in another 350 years. Fascinating shot!

Looks like a great place for a working pickpocket and I see that Caviar is a popular item! Like the string of arches along the ceiling!
