Souq Bab al-Saray is a historic souq located in Mosul.
It is the largest heritage marketplace in Old Mosul's market zone. It is a series of intersected organic and narrow roads, each specialized in trading specific products and items. Road widths range between 1.0 and 2.0 meters, with some relatively large areas at road intersections. It hosts Old Mosul's handicrafts marketplaces, such as Safareen, Hadadeen, Bazazeen, and Atareen.
As a result of the last war in 2017, this souq has lost many of its heritage structures and heritage activities, including old handicrafts.
Key Structures within the Souq
The market includes a number of mosques and khans, including:
- Pasha Mosque
- Shaikh Adbal Mosque
- Khan Al-Gumruk
- Khan Qasim Agha
