Alsaray Market, Traditional market in central Baghdad, Iraq
The corridors of Alsaray Market contain numerous stalls offering textiles, spices, traditional crafts, books, and everyday household items for local residents.
The market evolved from a temporary trading post in the fifth century Hijri to become a permanent commercial center near the eastern wall of Baghdad.
The introduction of bookstores in 1869 transformed Alsaray Market into an educational hub where students and scholars gathered to purchase literature and newspapers.
The market opens daily from morning until evening, with easier navigation and smaller crowds during early morning hours before peak shopping times.
Local vendors maintain permanent stalls passed down through generations, creating long-term relationships with regular customers and their families.
