A very good bazaar, everything is there, inexpensive. We ate delicious pilaf, bought a beautiful banana and it was very expensive. Good people trade, they are very responsive and kind.
Siab Bazaar is the largest and oldest bazaar in Samarkand! Of course, it is famous for Samarkand tortillas and sweets. It was here that I bought nuts - incredibly delicious! Just keep in mind, prices here are twice as high as in Tashkent!
Take care of your pocket from beggars! No matter how you bargain, sellers will not be offended, so you can safely ask to double the price tag. A wide variety of oriental sweets and spices. I recommend it as a place to buy souvenirs, and as an interesting trading experience. The main thing is not to overdo the bargaining and remain polite.
A great bazaar, you can buy something, or just take a walk, the assortment is excellent, from socks to meat, toys, groceries, things, small things for the house and even household appliances. Good location, you can walk to historical monuments.
I was not impressed. Israel, Turkey, Bahrain look more interesting. It's like in Armenia, only the prices are higher, for some reason. (Before the auction). Bidding is 2 times.
A magnificent market, a combination of new and old town.

The Oriental bazaar is peculiar, especially the Siab bazaar, to walk and bargain to buy fresh fruits and vegetables, wash them and immediately eat them with a hot tortilla. Be sure to visit this old market
There is no need for markets when there is a Bazaar. Moreover, it is clean, understandable, and easy. Everyone there is waiting for purchases according to taste and choice.
A real oriental bazaar, you will like it here. The indescribable oriental flavor will not leave you indifferent! A large assortment at pleasant prices! This place is a must-visit.
The bazaar is like a bazaar. There are a lot of things, you can bargain well and eat. There are a lot of Qigang beggars, keep your bags in your hands and don't yawn
The market is like a market. Really, we need to bargain. Souvenir skullcaps, when buying 5 pcs., I took 10 thousand sums each. Unreasonably expensive ceramics, although maybe I don't know how to appreciate. I was afraid to buy food, even sweets are packed, with a storage regime of no more than 20C, they stand in the sun for weeks.
It's not clean everywhere, I saw rats in the market in broad daylight - it scares me.Sellers are generally very pleasant to communicate with, a good selection of oriental sweets, fruits are cheaper in another market.
Dirt, they hang around, they cheat, I bought a salad during the carrot break, I also said I was fasting and I couldn't try it, and I bought cucumbers from her, so the salad was sour, and the cucumbers were underweight… Therefore, I go there as needed, as well as lies, body kit and complete unsanitary conditions.
