Souk al-Safafeer (Coppersmiths Market)

Tucked off Al-Rasheed Street, Souk al-Safafeer is Baghdad's historic coppersmiths' bazaar, where for generations artisans have hammered trays, pots and lamps by hand. The ringing of metal on metal still echoes through its lanes — one of the last living traditional crafts markets of the old city.
