Souq Omdurman, Traditional market in Omdurman, Sudan
The Souq Omdurman extends through numerous lanes filled with stalls selling traditional crafts, spices, textiles, gold jewelry, and local food products.
The market became a central trading post in the early 1900s, connecting merchants from Kordofan, Darfur, and South Sudan with the Nile River trade routes.
Merchants from different Sudanese tribes gather at the market to exchange goods and maintain their traditional craft-making techniques through generations.
The market operates daily from sunrise to sunset, with larger crowds during Friday mornings when vendors display their complete selection of products.
The specialized section Soug al Nisaa exclusively serves women customers, offering traditional beauty products, perfumes, and ceremonial wedding items.
