Souk El Attarine - Copper Market

Souk El Attarine is a dense, winding alleyway recognized by the sharp, metallic glint of brass and copper goods reflecting the sunlight filtered through the overhead wooden slats. Originally a traditional hub for the city’s spice merchants and perfumers, it earned its name from the Arabic word for druggists or perfume sellers. While the fragrant, colorful pyramids of saffron, cumin, and dried herbs still remain in select corners, the market has gradually shifted toward the craft of metalwork.
