The image transports us back in time, inviting us to explore the vibrant and multicultural scene that once thrived in this historic commercial hub. The photograph showcases a lively street scene, teeming with activity. Merchants from various ethnicities, dressed in colorful attire, are engaged in negotiations, bartering, and exchanging goods. The air is filled with the aroma of exotic spices, the sound of lively banter, and the clanging of metalware being crafted in nearby workshops.
