The market includes several prominent landmarks such as the Khalidiya Library, the Bab Al Silesia Mosque, the Khan Sultan Zahir Barqouq (Mameluke), the Supreme Islamic Council, the Al Asali Plantation and some of the graves of good people.
The occupation restricts the merchants of the market with racism, oppression and injustice against them, and the settlers who are trying to break their will harass them. The occupation has taken over some houses and shops because they are close to the Buraq wall.
The occupation does not stop trying to displace and expel traders through the large irregularities they put on them and trying to buy shops with large sums.
It is also called the Shawien market.
