Qaysari Bazaar. A Qaysari bazaar is a covered bazaar in Kurdistan-Iraq. Irbil (Kurdish- Hawler) contains an extensive Qaysari, just south of the citadel monument in the center of town. The Qaysari is entered through numerous alleys surrounding the Qaysari. Once inside, shoppers walk through a maze of narrow paths between the shops, underneath a roof of corrugated metal. Most alleys feature a unique product that is sold my a majority of the vendors in that location. The northeast corner of the Qaysari contains a north-south alley offering honey and dairy products, such as youghurt and cheeses. Irbil is famous for its dairy products, though the residents prefer not to be known as dairymongers.
