Crafts to discover Deir Ez-Zor

Women in tattooed face and coloured clothes, men bearing the galabiyé, large dress wide, and head covered with a scarf with red and white tiles go to the old souk in Deir ez-Zor from the early morning. Coming from the surrounding villages or nomadic camps, they invest the streets of the city to sell their harvest or buy tools, fabrics, ropes…

Renovated in 2010, the old market kept a traditional appearance with a beautiful vaulted roof and narrow aisles illuminated by the wells of light dug in the ceiling.

In short, the visit not to be missed will delight travellers looking for authenticity.
