Souk El-Attarine is one of Alexandria's oldest traditional quarter markets, located in the Attarine district near Attarine Mosque in the old city. Its labyrinth of alleys is famous for spices, essential oils, perfumes, antiques and traditional crafts; historically a trans-shipment hub for the spice trade between the Mediterranean and the Arab world, it now mixes wholesale and retail trade for local merchants, perfumers and visitors alike.
It specialises in spices, essential oils, traditional perfumes and dried foodstuffs, alongside wholesale craft and gift goods. Chinese suppliers of flavour and fragrance ingredients, packaged scented products, aromatherapy items and craft gifts can find local North African buyers here, as well as importers who distribute perfume and spice goods across Alexandria and other Mediterranean cities. Chinese exporters planning market entry are advised to arrange on-site visits and work with local agents to establish their first working contacts with resident wholesalers.
