The Spice Bazaar is located in Eminönü, near the Yeni Cami (New Mosque), across the public ferry terminal and the Galata Bridge. Istanbul's Spice Market, or Misir Çarsisi, was built in 1663 entirely as part of the adjacent Yeni Mosque complex to generate funds for the mosque's upkeep. The Spice Bazaar in Istanbul is the second-largest covered bazaar in Turkey and the largest spice market in the world. The Egyptian Spice Bazaar is a covered market space containing the spice market.

The Egyptian Bazaar, also called Spice Bazaar, is known for its sea of scents and colors. The oriental spice market is located on Eminönü Square, just to the right of the New Mosque, of which it has remained an important part until today.

You can buy fresh spices here (spice up much better than the stuff you sell in our supermarket!)

Opening hours: Mon-Sat 8-19 o'clock
Sun 9.30-19 clock
on the 1st of January from 10.30 to 19 o'clock
On religious holidays and on 29.10. Closed (day of founding of the Republic)
