The Egyptian Bazaar, also called the Spice Market, is only a fraction of the size of the Grand Bazaar. Stacked high with bags of spices, nuts, and dried fruits, this bazaar opened for business in the 17th century to generate revenue for the Yeni Camii (the New Valide Mosque) next door in Eminonu. Outside the Spice Market, there is a wonderful flower and bird market.
