Souk El Kamour

Souk El Kamour (Arabic:سوق الكامور) or the spices market is one of the most important and oldest souks of the medina of Sfax.

Its streets are covered with a barrel vault called Kamr in Arabic.

[1] Backed by the northern facade of the Great Mosque, the souk stretches along an east–west axis, perpendicular to the main wing of the souk Errbaa.

[2] According to some historians, this market was specialized in selling spices and sfaxian natural products (raisins, almonds, pistachios, dried figs etc.).

[1] Nowadays, most of his shops got converted into modern ones where new products that are mainly imported are exposed to the sale (clothes, bags, etc.).
