"Aroma galore!" spices Tip by onlinerep

The Egyptian Bazaar or Spice Market is busy and bustling and the atmosphere is great. As soon as you approach the Market, you can smell the aromas of cardamon, ginger, paprika, saffron and pepper.

It was nice to stroll around the stalls, sampling different types of Turkish Delight sweets and looking at the display of pretty coloured spices.

Note: The Egyptian Bazaar/Spice Market is closed on Sundays.

What to buy: Spices. Turkish Delights. Herbal teas.

What to pay: There's isn't much variation in price, but I always find it's a good idea to go around the Bazaar once and then come back to the stall where you're happy with the price of what you want to buy - that's if you can find it! Don't forget to haggle too.

Directions: Located at the base of the Galata Bridge in the Eminonu district, next to the Yeni Cami (New Mosque.)
