(Original)
Balıklıgöl’ün hemen yanında bulunan Dergâh Çarşısı, Urfa’nın ruhunu hissetmek için mutlaka gezilmesi gereken yerlerden biri. Çarşının içinde yöresel ürünler, baharatlar, tespihler, el işi hediyelikler bulmak mümkün. Esnaf genel olarak güler yüzlü ve sohbetiyle de Urfa kültürünü yaşatıyor. Özellikle mis gibi baharat kokuları arasında dolaşmak çok keyifli. Balıklıgöl ziyaretinizin ardından uğramadan dönmeyin. Tek eksisi zaman zaman kalabalık olması, ama bu da çarşıya ayrı bir canlılık katıyor.

(Translated by Google) It's a place where not only tourists but also locals come and shop. The leading products are dry goods, tomato pastes, spices, and other souvenirs. This place is also very good, and the marketplace next to it is excellent. It's very enjoyable to wander around, see new places, and discover new things in each shop. I highly recommend anyone visiting this place to browse through these shops. There's bound to be something or a gift that appeals to you.

Balıklıgölün yanında hemen, navigasyon bizi seyir tepesinin oradan götürdü ki yanlış bir rota, yukarda 400 mt dar sokaklardan yürüreyek indik. Çarşı’da sahte altından elektroniğe aklınıza gelebilecek her şeyi bulabilirsiniz.
