Souk Es Sekajine

specializing in leather goods, saddles, and horse harnesses.

[1] The term Es Sekajine is a mutation of ach-chakkazine, referring to traditional craftsmen who made achkouz, saddles of high-quality leather.

[2][3] The souk is situated west of Al-Zaytuna Mosque and east of Bab Menara gate.

It was revived in the 18th century by Al-Husayn I ibn Ali of the Husainid Dynasty.

[1] In modern times, the souk has a variety of merchants and there are only two saddlemakers remaining there.
