Let's show something that describes traditional city jobs:

handicrafts 

There are at least 10 of these which are very popular but I will present:

Yemeni shoes 

Copper and tin working 

Mosaics

Yemeni shoes.

These are handmade shoes, made of natural leather. To make them Masters need a few years of schooling and practice. It’s a traditional handicraft which, though not very common anymore, is still very much appreciated. One of the departments at Gaziantep University has got a workshop which helps keep this handicraft alive.

Copper and tin workshop.

This is probably the most popular workshop in Gaziantep. On the streets, we can easily find men working all day to make their objects with good quality. There’s a long production process which requires a lot of skills and experience.

 

The history of mosaics goes back some 4,000 years or more.
Mosaics were one of the principle forms of expression in antiquity. They were a functional yet decorative feature of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean villas, temples, shops, bath houses, and eventually churches and mosques. The images inspired viewers, complemented architecture, and were considered prestigious assets by their owners.

        
Nowadays, because of the rich history that the Gaziantep region has, there are projects 
which support local mosaic workshops and this handicraft seems to be stable.
One of the most popular topics is, of course, Gypsy Girl from Zeugma city. I suppose 
every workshop has at least one copy of it in its shop.
