Come and visit the shopping hub of Sulaimani

Sulaymaniyah’s bazaar may be the largest traditional market in Iraqi Kurdistan. You can find anything here including and up to the proverbial kitchen sink. This place is huge, stretching nearly 1.5km along Malawi and Goran Sts from the Sulaymaniyah Palace Hotel to Ibrahim Pasha St. The bazaar is an intermingled mix of tiny shops, traditional market stalls and street vendors.

The real heart of the market is the covered bazaar between Malawi and Kawa Sts – a chaotic and colourful treat for all five senses. The smells of spices and kebabs waft through the dark narrow alleys, beckoning shoppers into the depths of the bazaar.

Opening Hours: 8am-6pm
