Etymology

The origins of the souk's name is not clear. Some historians say Algerian sellers used to work in it while some others believe it was specialized in selling Algerian products.^[1]

Location

The souk is located in the east of Al-Zaytuna Mosque. It is a small alley in Souk El Berka. That's why there are jewellerry shops in it.
