The origin of the name “Al-Hal Market”:
• Hal “the sun” is the god of the ripening of vegetables and fruits, as the Syrian Arabs were the first to attribute the deity to the sun, moon and planets, so the name “hal” is found in many cities in Aleppo, Damascus, Homs, Latakia and all the Syrian cities.
