Om
Hurtige fakta: Duften af kanel, safran og ristet lokum snor sig gennem de smalle gange og lokker både lokale og nysgerrige besøgende til at smage på eksotiske krydderier. Bag de farverige boder gemmer sig hundreder af små handlende, nogle driver familiebutikker i generationer, og du kan finde alt fra intense teblandinger til håndlavede søde sager.
Højdepunkter: Gå ind i de snævre gange, og duften af safran, sumak og ristet kanel rammer dig straks, mens omkring 85 små boder bugner af farvestrålende poser og glinsende kobberkar. Bygget under Rüstem Pashas patronat for midler fra Egyptens skatteopkrævning, lever en lille lokal skik videre: sælgere tilbyder ofte et stykke lokum på et sølvfad som en smagsprøve og høflighedsgestus.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the bazaar's alleys are cobbled and can get very crowded.
- Photograph the colorful spice pyramids near the Rüstem Pasha Mosque entrance for the best shots.
- Ask to smell or taste products before buying, and avoid purchases of pre-ground 'saffron' unless a certificate is provided.
- Shop early on weekdays or late afternoon to dodge cruise-ship crowds; carry a small reusable bag for purchases.
