Eminöü

One of the main shopping streets in the old district. This one is all clothing and shoes, and we saw more headscarves here than any where else yet in the city. It was amusing to see women in headscarves or even full "Türban" (like burka) walking into lingerie shops.

The district is full of people shopping, and almost no cars are allowed except for a few delivery trucks, like the blue one on this street, though good luck getting through. You can buy anything you want in this area, between the Grand Bazaar and the smaller, 'younger' (built in the 1600's) Egyptian Bazaar.
