Spice Bazaar (also called Egyptian Bazaar) can be classed as a mini version of the Grand Bazaar. In my opinion, the main difference between the two, apart from the size, was that the volatile nature of the vendors at the Grand Bazaar was not present here. The shopkeepers at the Spice Bazaar had a friendlier approach in dealing with the customers. Their prices, also, were not as hugely overinflated as they were in the Grand Bazaar. Most shops were true to the bazaar’s name and sold spices and dried fruits, but you will also find the odd shop selling other products. I enjoyed my time here and would recommend that you visit the Spice Bazaar. Just don’t go there on a full stomach! You’ll be offered loads of different Turkish Delight and dried fruits to try. You have been warned. :-)
