Market
is
one
of

markets

Syria,
and
the
most
important
and
most
famous
of
all
the
markets

and
the

magnificently

and
described

an
industrial

city
in
the
heart
of

Researchers
have
described
it
as
the
jewel
of
the
markets
and
the
most
beautiful,
and
it
is
completely
covered
with
a
roof
of
wood.
The
iron
is
full
of
small
holes
through
which
the
sun
penetrates
during
the
day
and
is
paved
with
stone
-
black

a
meeting

The
market
was
built
in
its
current
form
during
the
reign
of
Sultan
Abdul
Hamid
I
in
1780
AD
and
took
its
name
Hamidiya
from
the
days
of
that
Ottoman
Sultan.
Al-Hamidiyah
is
famous
for
its

visit
to
the
East
is
not
complete
without
