Visit Tayrawa Market in Erbil

Erbil is known to be a shopper’s paradise. With its several huge,upscale Malls that dot the city, Erbil attracts shoppers not onlyfrom Kurdistan, but also from the rest of Iraq as well as fromneighboring countries.

However, the super-modern Malls are not the only attraction forvisitors. Local traditional markets and bazaars are like a magnet toshoppers who want to experience something different. The mostpopular traditional market with visitors to Erbil is the Qaysarimarket right at the foot of the ancient Citadel, but there are severalother local markets all over the city.

Tayrawa Market is a local market full of color which is representative of Middle Eastern traditional markets. Itis located in the north of the old Citadel and very close to the junction of Aras and Barzany Namr Streets. Here,you will find all kinds of local and imported fruit and vegetables, freshly baked bread and bread products,fresh meat, poultry, and several kinds of fish that come from Turkey or Iran.

This market is also quite popular with Kurdish women who look for the right fabric to make their traditional “JliKurdi” clothes. Even if you don’t wear such clothes, the variety of the available fabrics and their bright colorswill definitely tempt you into buying something.

Here, shoppers can also find most of the everyday household items, a large variety of spices and condiments
