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