Shorja market

Dalil Shorja lists the wholesale merchants of Baghdad's Shorja market and their goods, so you can find what your shop needs and message the merchant directly.

Shorja is one of Baghdad's oldest markets. Historians date it to the Abbasid era, when it was known as the perfumers' market, and its name is usually traced to a Persian word for a salty well. It still sends goods from its warehouses and khans to every governorate of Iraq.
