The Egyptian bazaar is a must-visit place for tourists, as the building itself is ancient, colorful and has such a variety of spices, sweets, tea, dishes and other goods. Of course, the quality of the goods is different, it is necessary to understand both the prices and the goods themselves. Traders are friendly, they give everything a try, but you need to be able to bargain. But you can always find souvenirs and gifts for family and friends (spices, teas, beautiful cups for tea - armudas, local gold products - bracelets, earrings, pendants). We always buy Mehmed Efendi Turkish coffee at this bazaar, where it is the most fragrant, fresh and delicious👌

It is easy to find, it starts from the square with the new mosque. The bazaar is like a bazaar. The famous coffee stall is easy to find. The coffee is great. Sweets were taken 6 tents from the mosque, immediately after the cheeses. Really delicious, 120 liras lukum. Dubai chocolate is disgusting, they sell small bars like ritter sport in the grand bazaar, it's really delicious. Do not see that there is more volume at the same price. They didn't take photos from the bazaar, a lot of people are pushing, it's dirty, everyone throws garbage on the floor.
And THE MAIN ADVICE if you live near Sofia, take a taxi after shopping, it's hard to go uphill with shopping

It's a very beautiful place. With a story. But it's very noisy. It's very smoky. Very stupid. No rows, no signs, no prices. In general, this is a real Turkish market. It is mandatory to visit once. The choice of products is huge. The quality leaves much to be desired. The prices are very high, for tourists. You can bargain, but the price is initially very high. For example. They ask 400 lire for Turkish tea. They give it for 300 lire. There are 150 liras in the nearby supermarket.

An amazing place as an attraction, a real oriental bazaar, crowded, noisy, it is very interesting to walk through it. But in terms of purchases, it seemed to me that there was no exclusive, everything that is sold can be bought in other places, it is not necessary to go so far. If we could get here at a time of total shortage in our country, then our eyes would run away!

There is everything for every taste from spices to gold. But it is better to visit with a guide, he will tell you where the spices are natural and we have found the most profitable exchange rate of rubles there. The place is colorful, interesting, and worth a visit.

Tea can be bought profitably. Sweets are 2 times more expensive than in regular stores around the city. So either bargain hard, or buy in other places, you will definitely find it cheaper. Textiles are much cheaper on the streets outside the market. They are trying to cheat and sell everything more expensive, be careful! But you can go into all the shops and try something, tasty and profitable)

Nicely. A historically soulful place . A variety of teas , sweets , spices . The touts are multilingual . They offer to try their product . sometimes obsessively . But do not forget that this is the East, it's a delicate matter. If you need a lukum or something from the list, you can safely go here and bargain

It's a good place to go for a walk and buy something. The locals come in too. Coffee, spices, dried fruits - all of extremely decent quality. There is an external and an internal part. It's very tight on weekends, preferably on weekdays.

The bazaar has a unique atmosphere due to its cramped streets, which are filled with many shops, sellers and buyers. It attracts both tourists and locals who come here for quality products and traditional Turkish goods.
It is also a great place for those who want to experience the rich culture of Turkey through fragrant spices and exotic goods.

But this market really deserves to be visited. Excellent selection of local products and goods for reasonable money. This is an unpopular place for tourists, which is definitely worth a visit.
In the summer of 2024, I bought a 5-liter canister of excellent unrefined olive oil for 300 rubles (in rubles).

Earlier, about 10 years ago, it was all fascinating and unusual. Now everything that is sold in the Egyptian bazaar is available in any market. Well, no matter how colorful, of course, but the price tag is tourist. There is no point in buying and transporting anything.

It's a great place! The atmosphere is incredible!!! Beautiful sellers are trying to lure you to them with their good-natured smile, treat you and persuade you to buy something))
The prices are too high. I recommend you to visit anyway! At least just to look at it)
I was surprised only that the Turks smoke right at the counters.

I don't understand the huge number of excellent reviews. The market is purely for tourists, the price tag is too high, the quality of the goods is disgusting. We bought different teas and were horrified by the quality at home. Tea in a cafe and tea sold here is heaven and earth. There is no taste, dusty sediment, etc. Spices and various lukums I would not try here at all.
But it's beautiful!

It's beautiful, unusual, and worth a look. But just to see, the main building itself is very small, you can walk around slowly in 10-15 minutes. Everywhere they invite you to try something. The assortment is like everywhere else, the prices are also about the same as everywhere else. Then the market goes outside and there is nothing special there. Ordinary shops with all sorts of junk, clothes and household items. All the same things that are sold all over the city

Good location, reasonable prices. I recommend you to visit, given that the bazaar itself is surrounded by a bunch of all sorts of tents, where prices are also reasonable. But keep in mind that they are very different. You can buy, conditionally, a bathrobe for 1000 lire, and after two tents the same one costs 500 lire. There is a tram stop nearby, which is also convenient.

One of the most touristic places in Istanbul.I was brought here by the search for the Turks of the Soy company.It is noisy (but not as market-like as at the Grand Bazaar), beautiful, clean.
If you take souvenirs, you should understand that you pay two prices-it will be cheaper a little further away.It is advisable to know why you came here))
Babylon of our days!

It is very beautiful and unusual. A market with an Asian flavor. But you need to walk in the morning, because there are a lot of people in the evening. You can buy unusual sweets.

It is a very beautiful and colorful place. I recommend you to visit. If you decide to buy something, you need to bargain. They tried to sell a box of Koska halva for 400 lire!!! In the Koska firm store, the same one costs 120. Therefore, think carefully before buying something there)))

A picturesque place! Sellers are not as intrusive as in Egypt. You rent out beautiful and bright things like that... You will definitely be treated to sweets, tea will be brewed on trial or a drink will be diluted. Be prepared to be made fun of... Offer to smell a spice or a drink, and the smell is sharp as an asterisk, it takes your breath away. I advise you to visit.

I like the Egyptian Bazaar more than the Grand Bazaar, we visit it without fail when we are in Istanbul. Firstly, we buy the most delicious Turkish coffee Mehmet Efendi there, secondly, we buy spices, a mixture of peppers, various mixes for all types of dishes, they are packed in vacuum packaging, the minimum is sold from 100 g., thirdly - teas, various fragrant fruit, floral, I would especially like to mention eucalyptus tea, which there are a lot of different things, but the most awesome one is that when they give it a try, one smell makes you cry, so vigorous. Once it got stuck in our throat and we were just walking around the bazaar, trying various teas, and they gave us a taste of this eucalyptus tea, after that tea everything went away, since then buying it is a mandatory item, and in winter at home during illness greatly relieves the symptoms of a cold. Fourthly, it is in the Egyptian bazaar that there are many jewelry shops where locals buy gold, and it was here that in different years I bought gold earrings and bracelets for myself and my daughter, I did not check the quality, but outwardly beautiful, they do not change color, ears do not hurt, locks are strong, my daughter wears both earrings and a bracelet filming, just like me. This is the main thing, and so there is a grocery market on the street, you can buy all kinds of cheeses, sausages, and many types of olives, and an analogue of churchkhela - dzhevizli sudzhuk- very tasty!, and all kinds of nuts, baklava, sweets, in general, everything. On the downside, there are a lot of people, especially in the grocery part. You can bargain, jewelry is not particularly traded, but they can make a discount, the price is per gram of gold in dollars. There is a bird market nearby, and various seeds and seedlings are sold.

An ordinary bazaar. A lot of oriental sweets are very tasty, spices of various teas. It is very similar to the gardener's market. The same faces, the same goods, the same speech. The prices, however, are very high. For general development, we need to look at it.

For those who like to bargain, the green light. Haggling here (and not only here :)) is called lowering deliberately inflated prices for tourists. It is cheaper to go to an ordinary Turkish supermarket and buy the same thing, but at the usual price.

They do not like to bargain at all and do not know how, even magnets do not want to sell for normal money, there are a lot of people, the goods are mainly consumer goods... If there is no specific seller who already knows you, then just understand and look at the architecture, so it pleases...
