Summary edit
DescriptionAncient covered souq, Aleppo, Syria.jpg |
An ancient covered souq run through 10 kilometres of narrow covered streets. The souks became known by the products sold there. For example, the perfume souk, is called souk Al Attareen, and the jewellers souk, souk Al Sagha. Most of them date from the 15th and 16th centuries and can be considered true popular museums. The inns or caravanserai (khan) are located near the souks because they were frequented by the merchants. They have tastefully decorated facades, and huge wooden doors reinforced with metal and copper. The most famous are Khan Al Gomrok, Khan Al Wazeer, Khan Al Saboon, Khan Ashouneh and Khan Al Nahaseen. |
