Souk Es Sabbaghine (Sfax)

Souk Es Sabbaghine (Arabic: سوق الصباغين ) or the dry cleaners market is one of the oldest souks of the medina of Sfax.

The souk got its designation from the dry cleaners who used to work there.

Currently, it is called « Souk Sidi Bou Chouaïcha » with reference to a small mosque in it.

[2] According to historians, Souk Es Sabbaghine had many workshops for dry cleaners and tanners.

However presently, the tanning and dyeing workshops have been moved to the outside of the medina, with fruits and vegetable traders instead occupying the center of the medina.
