Damascus Old City Marketplace – The Origin of Trade, Reimagined by Bitakke

Damascus Old City is recognized as one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and one of the earliest centers of trade and local marketplaces.

For centuries, streets such as Medhat Pasha, Bab Touma, and the area surrounding the Umayyad Mosque connected merchants, craftsmen, and service providers with people looking for trusted solutions. This environment shaped the foundations of commerce: accessibility, trust, and direct connection.

Bitakke is built on the same core idea — adapted for the digital age.

Instead of walking through physical markets, users explore organized categories.
Instead of relying on word of mouth, they access structured listings.
Instead of limitations, they gain clarity and reach.

Bitakke is a digital marketplace platform designed to help users discover services, businesses, and opportunities efficiently, while supporting service providers through visibility and direct contact — with simple, cash-based interactions.

Inspired by the trading culture of Damascus Old City, Bitakke connects tradition with technology to serve modern needs.

This is where the Bitakke platform begins.
