Tala'a Kebira

[2][1] The souk streets themselves constitute the main commercial axes of the city and are home to most of its foundouks (inns for merchants).

The original Bab Bou Jeloud, a simple and modest gate (still visible but closed today), opened sideways onto the street on its south side.

[3][1] Today, one can enter Tala'a Kebira from a passage off the north side of the square behind the current (early 20th-century) monumental Bou Jeloud gate.

[1][3] Past the Bou Inania Madrasa, the street's shops are more varied, traditionally having served rural visitors and local inhabitants.

[4][3] It eventually passes through the Chrabliyine (or "Shirabliyyin" for a more English transliteration) neighbourhood, where the street's shops were traditionally devoted to the sale of Moroccan slippers called cherbil[what language is this?]

][5][1][3] The Chrabliyine Mosque is also located here; its minaret, dating from the Marinid era, is considered one of the prettiest in the city and is prominently visible over the street.

[7] As per the market's name, the shops here were historically specialized in the sale of spices and medicines, but nowadays they sell a variety of items.

[3] East of this sanctuary, and interconnected with the Souq al-Attarine, is the Kissariat al-Kifah, a close network of lanes and alleys which formed the central bazaar of the city and is still filled with hundreds of shops.

[1][3][9] The Kissaria (a name also used in other parts of the Islamic world and sometimes transliterated as qaysariyya) has been established here since the early Idrisid period of the city.
