The souk is a small alley in Souk Es Sabbaghine. That's why it is called Souk El Saghir (the small market).
Location[edit]
It links Souk Es Sabbaghine (the big market) to Sidi Zahmoul Street.
It is situated in the outskirt of the medina of Tunis, far from Al-Zaytuna Mosque center because dyeing is considered as a polluting activity.
History[edit]
Few informations are clear about this souk's history. But it is considered as an extension of the main one (Souk Es Sabbaghine).
There are still some dyeing shops in it.
