Gazil souq, Market in Baghdad, Iraq

Gazil souq is a market in Baghdad's Shorja area, near the Khulafa Mosque. Its small shops sell dried grains, legumes, herbs, pet birds, rare wild birds such as falcons and peacocks, rare dogs, and ornamental fish. In the middle stands the minaret of the old mosque, known as the Caliph's Mosque, rebuilt by Governor Sulayman Pasha the Great (1779–1802).

The souq grew beside the mosque of al-Khalifa in Shorja, on the eastern side of its courtyard, where a yarn market was set up during the Ottoman era under governor Suleiman Pasha the Great (1779–1802). The mosque's minaret collapsed and was rebuilt under the same governor, who also built a congregational mosque west of it; that mosque stood until 1957, when it was demolished to open Republic Street through Shorja. The market kept working on Fridays through the violence after 2003, including bombings in 2006–2008.

The souq is best known for stalls selling dry grains, legumes and herbs, alongside caged birds such as peacocks and falcons, rare dogs and ornamental fish. Its name comes from the yarn trade that gave the area its fame under the Ottoman governor Suleiman Pasha the Great (1779–1802). The market is usually held on Fridays, like the nearby Souq al-Mutanabbi.

The souq sits near the Khulafa Mosque in Shorja and is held mainly on Fridays, as is the case with the Mutanabbi Street market. The old minaret of the mosque rises in the middle of the market, and the Carmelite Fathers' convent, known for Father Anastas al-Karmali's Friday gatherings, is also here. The Christian Aqd quarter faces the market from the Arab Souq side.

The Carmelite convent next to the souq hosted the Friday gatherings of Father Anastas al-Karmali, where Arabic philologists including Sheikh Jalal al-Din al-Hanafi, imam of the adjacent Khalifa Mosque, met. The souq's name comes from the yarn trade that gave the area its fame, and the Khalifa Mosque's minaret is still called the Souq al-Ghazl minaret.
