Souk El Dziria (Arabic: سوق الجزيرية) or Souk of the Algerians is one of the souks of the medina of Tunis.
Etymology
editThe 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
editThe souk is located in the east of Al-Zaytuna Mosque. It is a small alley in Souk El Berka. That's why there are jewellery shops in it.
