Burhan Heritage Souk (or Burhan Historical Market)

Dating back to the 14th century, the oldest market in the city stretches 180 meters south of the historic waterwheels (Nawaoir). Its vaulted wooden roof, supported by semi-pointed basalt arches, speaks to centuries of commerce.
In 2019, the municipality undertook a significant restoration, replacing the modern metal sheets with traditional Mamluk-era roof tiles and unifying the shop facades. Today, this vibrant market is home to traditional spice and Homsi soap merchants, serving as a vital hub that is breathing new economic life into the heart of the historic city.
