Egypt, Cairo, el Sabtieh Market , Bolak in 1884
The Sabtiya Market in Bulaq, Cairo, specializes in the trade of scrap metal and other supplies, and is considered the "Kingdom of Scrap" in Egypt.
The Sabtiya Market is located in the Bulaq district, and the street extends from Ramses Square to the Nile Corniche near the Imbaba Bridge.
The name probably stems from an ancient market held in the area every Saturday, or from the presence of Jewish shops that closed on Saturdays.
