The Gold Market ( Souk ad-Dahab; also known as the Qissariya Market, Souk al-Qissariya) was a narrow covered passageway located in the old quarter of Gaza, Palestine; it was both a center for trading and buying gold, and location for foreign exchange. The Market was located along the southern edge of the Great Mosque of Gaza, beside the main Omar Mukhtar Street. The Market was configured with a pointed and vaulted roof above the central road, which was lined on both sides by small shops that are themselves roofed by the cross vaults of the covered central road.
Gazan judge Sheikh Shams ad-Din al-Himsi ordered the construction of the Gold Market in 1476 CE during the Mamluk Sultanate. The Market originally formed a part of a much larger covered market, but most of the area was destroyed by the British Army during World War I.
The market underwent a conservation programme between 2020 and 2023.
The market was destroyed on December 7th, 2023, by an Israeli air strike on the adjacent Great Omari Mosque.
