Bashoura market
Bashoura Market: This market has a long history, dating back to the Romans who ruled Jerusalem from 63 BC to 636 AD. The importance of the market emerged during the Mamluk rule of Jerusalem and the Crusades. The Mamluk princes took it as the seat of government due to its strategic location and its distance from the city walls, which makes it easy to defend and protect it. Al-Bachoura market contains 25 stores
The importance of the Bachoura market emerged later for Jerusalemites after it turned into a trade in used and ready-made clothes. It may take months for some tailors to tailor and receive their new clothes.
