A very diverse assortment of the market. Here you can find food products, in particular fruits, vegetables, oriental sweets, traditional bread, gifts, souvenirs, clothes, dishes, and everything in the national style, just a market for tourists so that they can buy gifts for relatives and friends. And the prices here are more reasonable compared to other places.
Siab Bazaar in Samarkand is just a magical place where you can plunge into the atmosphere of a real oriental market. Located in the center of the city, the bazaar pleases with its diversity and authenticity.
Here you will find everything you could wish for: from exquisite souvenirs and national clothes to fresh fruits and spices. Many merchants offer their goods, creating a unique atmosphere of trade and exchange of cultural values.
I was especially pleased that there are street money changers at the entrance to the bazaar, where you can easily exchange money at a favorable rate of $ 100 - 1250000 soums. It is convenient and saves time, allowing you to fully enjoy shopping.
Siab Bazaar is a place where every visitor can find something to their liking and take with them a piece of the oriental atmosphere. I highly recommend this bazaar to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the world of real oriental trade and see a wonderful combination of tradition and modernity.
There are many attractions worth visiting near the Siab Bazaar in Samarkand. Here are some of them:
1. Bibi Khanum: The famous Bibi Khanum Mosque, built in the XV century, is a short walk from the bazaar. This amazing architectural structure is considered one of the symbols of Samarkand.
2. Ulugbek stele: In honor of the famous scientist and ruler Ulugbek, a stele was erected, which is one of the oldest astronomical instruments in the world. It is also located next to the bazaar.
3. The historical center of Samarkand: Around the Siab bazaar there are many ancient streets, buildings and architectural monuments that are part of the historical center of the city of Samarkand.
4. Guri-Amir Mausoleum: The beautiful mausoleum where Timurid ruler Timur is buried is located a few kilometers from the bazaar.
5. Registan: One of the main attractions of Samarkand, the Registan architectural complex
After visiting the bazaar, you can easily combine it with a tour of other interesting places in the center of Samarkand.

The market itself is located on Islam Karimov pedestrian street in the center of the old city, next to the Bibi Khanum Mosque.

The opening hours of the bazaar are from 5 am to 19 pm.
Perhaps the largest bazaar in the city, where you can feel the atmosphere of a real oriental bazaar. A large selection of various products, products, clothes, souvenirs and all sorts of things for every taste and pocket.
Very clean, in the center of the old town.
But most importantly, they are very friendly people. Everyone will tell you about the product, show you, give you a try, all with a smile and unobtrusively.
This is now rarely seen in the markets, especially at our Hay Market in St. Petersburg.
In spring, it is probably not as rich as in summer, but there is also something to profit from: an abundance of dried fruits, spices, and various sweets. You can drink freshly squeezed pomegranate juice. Buy local consumer goods. Do not pass by the teahouse in the center of the market - everything is very simple, but very tasty. The prices are more than affordable.
A great bazaar. A huge selection. Cleanly, product ranges are convenient to choose and compare. The atmosphere is good, the sellers are unobtrusive. There is everything for every taste and purse. There are ATMs, a pharmacy, cafes. Money can be exchanged at money changers or directly from sellers. The course is profitable. Change can be given in any currency (ask in advance). You can buy everything you need, you can eat, you can just walk around and stare
A magnificent bazaar in the center of Samarkand with a rich oriental flavor, where any purchase is accompanied by bidding for the final price. The architecture of historical buildings is full of a riot of colors that shimmer under the rays of the sun. A great place to visit and get acquainted with the history of Samarkand.
A real market where locals come to buy vegetables and fruits. There are separate rows with dried fruits and sweets. There are several sellers of tableware and souvenirs. You can also buy national clothes, prices are cheaper than in tourist locations. At the beginning of May , there are already 🍓 and 🍑
It is located in the very center of the city. While exploring all the sights, you can run into this market. I bought nuts, souvenir plates with dried fruits and apricot pits. I liked everything. The place is very picturesque, near the main attraction.
We strongly recommend taking all souvenirs and textiles only here. We traveled around Tashkent and Bukhara, but the best prices and choice are here. Bidding is mandatory! They take both rubles and dollars at the normal exchange rate. So don't hesitate. The local real cuisine is also here. It is necessary to go to one of the entrances. There are several taverns in the rows. The cafe, which is delicious in the middle of the bazaar, but the prices are overpriced.
clean, neat, calm, there are shopping malls with manufactured goods and electronics, which pleases. Beggars and beggars are not noticed. there is a teahouse on the territory, however, it is very slowly served.
It's very atmospheric.Of course, this is no longer an ancient bazaar, but the atmosphere of the Oriental Bazaar is still there. A full-fledged assortment of the Uzbek market : dried fruits, fruits, vegetables, spices, souvenirs and much more.
We talked with the merchant, very interestingly, on any topic. Everyone speaks Russian.
Siab market, one of the oldest markets in Samarkand. It is famous for having a large selection of dried fruits, nuts, oriental sweets and, of course, Samarkand flatbread. In the market, Tajik is mainly spoken and communicated with each other. When visiting the market, it is necessary to check the prices, for example, of the same dried fruits, in chain stores (Basket, Wholesaler), in order to avoid buying a particular product at inflated prices. The market is colorful, although it has been increasingly refined lately.
An ordinary but authentic Samarkand market.There are a lot of nuts, oriental sweets and seasonings as in any large Uzbek market.The area is clean and pleasant aromas of spices, sweets and bread surround you everywhere
A real oriental market with loud-voiced merchants... It is necessary to bargain and this is a special art and pleasure. Sweets, spices, fruits, cheese, nuts, dried fruits.... I really liked it! You can buy everything!
This is generally a separate story. I have not yet met the most pleasant bazaar. Very clean, everything is so nice and beautifully laid out. The sellers are all very cheerful and friendly. If you walk around the center, be sure to come in, at least try everything. Sellers give you literally anything you ask to try. The main thing is to smile at them.
A good market, lots of fruits, sweets, and souvenirs, prices are different, you can bargain, but the price for foreigners is increased, in general it is cheaper to buy everything in local shops or a supermarket, you noticed that the prices are lower.
Everything is here 🤪
For every taste
Sweets
Greens
Fruit
Footwear
Clothes
Household Goods
For newborns
Everything is delicious and beautiful
And exactly
Eastern
Everything can be tried
And buy
One of the oldest and largest markets in Samarkand. It is located next to the Bibi Khanum Mosque and occupies almost a block. You can buy everything from kurt, sweets, milk and meat to dishes, slippers, bathrobes and clothes. You can try and simplify it. You can bargain . You can just "open your eyes" .
I recommend it for every day, as well as for buying souvenirs and local products at home, to friends and relatives.
Very cool! Almost like in Russia in the 90s. You can buy everything! A huge selection of meat, fruits, sweets, clothes and interior items. Everything, of course, has an oriental flavor.
A cool, authentic, beautiful place. There is a place to eat, there is something to buy and there is a place to walk. It has nothing to do with Samarkand. You can see the real Samarkand behind the barriers of this beautiful territory, where lawn sprinklers work and all the staff smiles at you.
Хороший рынок! Как на всех рынках торговаться приветствуется и здесь это особый вид искусства и удовольствие 😁.
Много пряностей, сухофруктов, фруктов, овощей, сладостей и орехов всех видов. Всё свежее, местного производства. Чаи и чайные сборы, травы. Всё можно пробовать, нюхать и щупать. (Можно отдельную статью написать на эту тему, так это вкусно и ароматно, тает во рту) .
В кафе на рынке очень всё вкусно и недорого. Кушали местный плов (вкусный и порции хватит на двоих), салат, шашлык из баранины (без жира и полный шампур, мягкий и сочный), шурпа с говядиной просто сказка.
Очки: можно купить с эффектом поляризации (и там же проверить), нормального качества, хорошие модели, приемлемые цены. Без солнцезащитных очков туристам летом трудно с непривычки.
Вещи: в летних нарядах натуральных тканей мало 😢в основном синтетика и вискоза, хлопка нет, за день выдают какую-то синтетику с выбитым рисунком льна и стоимость за ткань завышена, пошив частно некачественный. Натуральные ткани только в тёплых вещах, стеганных вещах (курточки и т.д.), шоперах (сумочки хозяйственные с рисунками Самарканда и Узбекистана) .
Есть магазины для невест, там и бижутерия, и фурнитура, и бусы, серьги, подвески, ткани и готовые национальные платья и украшения.
Каждый найден товары на свой вкус! Рекомендую посетить в обязательном порядке!
A good, very authentic and colorful bazaar. Everything is there that your heart desires. We bought sweets and spices there. For tourists, of course, the prices are higher, you need to bargain. Of the cons: a lot of beggars.
Unlike the bazaar in Tashkent, this bazaar is very soulful and colorful. Only in this bazaar can I walk without irritation.
There are vegetables/fruits/dried fruits/sweets/clothes/souvenirs and much more...
You can choose a lot of fruits and nuts at the market. There are also rows with local clothes and souvenirs. Everyone is willing to bargain, although there are also a lot of beggars, but there is not even a smell of cleanliness and order.
A great place where it is fashionable to buy a lot of interesting products with national motifs. Sellers are willing to bargain and it is fashionable to reduce the final price by 30-40%) so feel free to worry)))
A wonderful Oriental bazaar, an abundance of goods, adequate prices,colorful national outfits, friendly and unobtrusive sellers.There is a "gluttonous row" where national dishes are cooked in huge cauldrons and you can have a delicious lunch outdoors.
Clean, safe. The choice is very large. Each type of product has its own zone - dried fruits and nuts separately, souvenirs separately, olezhda separately, etc. On the market you can find money changers with a good exchange rate. It is necessary to bargain, and with sellers, and with money changers too. Some sellers accept payment by card number - it is convenient to transfer money from a Russian card using a Golden Crown.
Samarkand
Siab bazaar .
Coming to the city, I am very interested to see what kind of bazaar - and eastern cities are a separate story. A lifetime goes by in the bazaar.
Be sure to visit the Siab Bazaar. You will find everything here, really and get a lot of pleasant moments and pleasures. .
Oriental bazaar everything is very tasty and natural inside the bazaar there is a shop where you can find very good silk robes dresses scarves camel cashmere silk I really liked the 28 souvenir shop there the saleswoman is very good and their prices are good
Великолепный и дешевый рынок. Удобно расположен. Очень вкусные и свежие всевозможные орехи, все можно и нужно пробовать. Накупил в Москву вкуснейших фисташек 3 кг, еще кучу разных свежих специй, особо порадовала местная красная паприка. Много отличного зеленого чая разных сортов на развес, тоже накупил. Все продали отличного качества, никто ничего плохого не подсунул, не обвесил (перевешивал в отеле, есть электронный безмен). Очень хорошие фрукты по сезону, покупал и кушал в отеле. Туристу обязательно к посещению с гастрономическими целями. Есть еще одежда, посуда, сувениры.
An interesting bazaar in historical terms, it is located next to the Bibikhanum mausoleum. There are many varieties of dried fruits, vegetables and fruits, seedlings and inventory.
A huge bazaar, we haven't been to it for a long time. You can buy a lot of things! I liked the prices and the assortment. True, few people speak Russian, but we were lucky when we bought melons, there was a local family nearby, they were happy to help us choose a melon themselves and also beat out a discount from the seller.
An atmospheric place, a real Uzbek market, it is smaller than Tashkent Chorsu, but somehow brighter, warmer and tastier. And what kind of ceramics are there! Very tasty dried fruits and strawberries.
Of course, I respect the fact that the bazaar at this place has existed for many hundreds of years, but personally it seemed to me nothing particularly remarkable. The range of goods is common for Uzbekistan and clearly "sharpened" for tourists (hence the obviously inflated price tag for everything and everything), and the market itself is quite modern.
So I don't see any point in going here on purpose, but if you need to pass the time somehow, being near the Bibi Khanum mosque, then you can go in and take a look.
A very interesting place where you can find almost everything you need. A variety of vegetables and fruits, spices and sweets and everything! Be sure to bargain, and local sellers will give you a good discount!
A good bazaar. We bought spices for pilaf, tea with thyme and even a women's suit made of fine cotton and a silk dressing gown. I really liked these clothes, I wear them with pleasure.
The classic market, you won't be able to pay with a card. At 18.00, sellers are already starting to slowly wind down trading.
It is necessary to bargain by 20-30%) prices for the same product from different sellers are about the same.
For an example of the price level: I bought a set of nuts (in the form of a plate) at the market for 30,000 soums, the exact same set at the Samarkand airport cost 150,000 soums
It's crowded, full of people, everything is for sale and for purchase. The choice of home-made flowers is wider only in Tashkent, a wonderful cafe with an outdoor terrace where delicious food is served.
Close to the sights, so you can take a look. The market is like a market, it is necessary to bargain. There are a lot of Chinese goods, but there are also their own
We were with my husband and sister several times. The bazaar is very big. The choice is huge, the eyes are running away. We bought several bottles each
Freshly squeezed pomegranate juice- I really liked it. And when buying dried fruits, you first need to walk around, take a closer look. Find out the prices.
And only then buy. We bought everything from one person, and went a little further- and oops
Everything was priced much lower. National souvenirs, bathrobes, chapans are much lower in the bazaar than in boutiques that
We were in the area.
This bazaar from the main entrance is only for tourists!! The prices there are for tourists. The local market starts elsewhere - find it. All prices that you will see here in other places will be 2-3 times cheaper. Sellers are very aggressive (I know what the market is and how they sell there), but here you will feel their aggression and their complete lack of interest in selling you what you need.
the prices are great, but if you need something like that, you will need to look for it and you will find it, the assortment is mainly fruits, vegetables, nuts, spices, souvenirs (knives, knitwear, etc.), consumer goods. There are a lot of beggars, there are a lot of them, and no one is chasing them there.
It's a colorful place, I like to visit markets in different countries, it's definitely worth a visit.
Souvenirs are cheaper here than in other places, you can bargain
A very interesting place for tourists! Besides the fact that you can buy everything at low prices, you can try a lot! The sellers are all friendly and cheerful!
The big bazaar. I really like to visit it. But you need to carefully monitor the prices that are offered to you. They like to bargain with them, but they don't concede much to tourists. But you can try everything. There is a part with nuts, fruits, meat, a clothing market, too, but to get there you need to know where the passage is.
