The bazars, or souks, of Tunis are narrow, winding streets, some of them vaulted and 

 many covered in with a roof of boards. There are five chief bazars; el-Attarin, the market 

 of perfumery; el-Farashin, of carpets and cloths; el-Serajin, of saddlery, and el-Birka, ot 

 jewelry. The Souk-el-Birka was formerly the slave market.
