Excellent market, fruits are very tasty, pomegranate juice is delicious, as well as good prices for bathrobes, souvenirs, tea. You can have a delicious meal.
A cool authentic place, with historical value, with provisions for every taste, everything can be tried and bargained, very colorful, I definitely recommend visiting Samarkand
I recommend a visit. The flavor of the East, the abundance and riot of flavors and colors. If you are already used to the capital's shopping malls, then it's like diving into another world. It is very interesting and delicious.
You will see the flavor of the oriental bazaar, spices, textiles, a scattering of nuts, dishes, sweets ..... bargain to the last, of course cleanliness leaves much to be desired)
A great place for tourists to buy Samarkand sweets (halva, pashmak, nougat, etc.). Clothes and souvenirs are two/three times more expensive than in Tashkent
The bazaar is magnificent! It is always good to come to a place where locals shop, and not to a place designed for tourists. Of course, I'm not at all sure that we were told the real prices. It seems that everyone understands trading very well here) But even in this case, counting on "ours", we realized that we were paying much less than at home.
A market with a history. It has been mentioned since the 9th century. It has not lost its relevance now. The largest in Central Asia. Fruits, vegetables, spices, fresh Samarkand tortillas, nan, meat are on sale. There are shops with a large selection of local souvenirs and goods designed for tourists. Cafe with national cuisine. It is conveniently located near the main attractions. If you want to plunge into the atmosphere of goodwill, oriental flavor and history, you are here.
A small market, there is everything you need, products, things, souvenirs and national items are also available, there are appliances and dishes, in general everything is there.
I noticed several patterns:
1) All souvenirs are the same on each shop, the question is where how much they will yield, but there is only one manufacturing plant, if it is not China at all;
2) Spices and dried fruits are also one in one, all the shops are the same, there is no variety, as if this has only one owner
3) Otherwise, I did not notice the tourist value.
Even if you don't like markets, it's worth visiting as a tourist attraction. Half of the city seems to have settled here. Bargain until you're blue in the face. You can have a snack and relax in the teahouse
Everything is focused on tourists, especially the prices. You can safely buy a watermelon pumped with saltpeter, and plates from which pieces break off. But you can try absolutely everything before buying. It is absolutely impossible to buy anything without haggling. There are restaurants around with very tasty, but a little too fast food. Don't take what you're not sure about. First of all, it is a country of meat.
A good bazaar. There is something more expensive, and something in some places is cheaper. We need to go and compare prices. And we also need to bargain. A huge selection of everything.
Well, what can I say, a great bazaar! If you want clothes embroidered with pomegranates, for example, sweets, nuts, be sure to go. Much nicer than the bazaar in Tashkent.
All my life I dreamed of visiting the oriental bazaar. A very atmospheric place. We collected a lot of dried fruits, nuts, souvenirs. You can buy anything here. Sellers bargain well, it was possible to throw off almost half a yen for some things
There is a large market, there is absolutely everything, from food to clothes, but it is better to immediately plan a lot of time to consider and try everything. You definitely won't leave without shopping.
Noisy but at the same time, everything is clean in the bazaar. All departments are specially placed so that it is convenient for a person. I bought ice cream there - just like when I was a kid, it was just as delicious. I recommend.
The choice is large, the sellers are polite, they praise their goods and make discounts, but the goods are all fresh, everything is clean on the shelves and around, there is no garbage and dust
The delight of the bazaar. There is everything for every taste. I got into the strawberry season, they sell it in such basins (1-1.5 kg in appearance) costs 20-35 thousand sums (depending on how you bargain). I took a bunch of dried fruits home and of course the freshest lemons!
We were in winter, the oriental bazaar, where everything is! But it would be more picturesque in summer. Very tasty Samarkand pilaf is cooked at the bazaar, and all the locals visit it. Everything is clean, the service is fast, inexpensive.
A good market. Tourists are overcharged without restrictions. The better you decide to look on vacation, the more expensive the prices are called. In order to buy something here at a normal price, you need to be able to bargain well or buy at tourist prices.
I regret that I devoted little time to the market. I'll have to come to Samarkand again. In general, I really liked the cleanliness, order and great variety.
Колоритное место. Базар на этом месте с древних времён. Есть буквально всё, от одежды и техники до продуктов питания, сувениров и посуды. Не стоит покупать у первого попавшегося продавца, пройдитесь по рынку поспрашивайте цены. Можно всё пробовать, без проблем. И обязательно торгуйтесь, это восток! Для туристов - всё можно приобрести на этом рынке, по вполне приемлемым ценам.
Colorful and crowded, exactly as we expected to see. There are a lot of goods, sellers invite you to look and try, clean enough for the market. The problem with parking, however, we were lucky with paid inexpensive Parking, but it's better to take a taxi.
I dreamed of visiting here and read a lot about this place.. Unfortunately, at +36 I could not appreciate this place, because it became very bad from the noise and smells. I had to retreat quickly so as not to fall there from a warm blow. But I definitely recommend it, you will definitely appreciate the color of the city and the sincerity of the sellers
The place is beautiful all around, but the market is just tin. Just like most people there. They grab me by the arms, they run like gypsies. Prices are off the ceiling. I wanted to buy the fact, so past the price, it was said to drink here and return the bottle. Maybe this is normal for Samarkand, but for the Russian Federation it is a return to the 90s.
A very atmospheric, colorful place!
I bought luxurious sesame halva, nobat, famous Samarkand tortillas, which all gourmets of the world know about, admired the bright, beautiful ceramics, hand-embroidered skullcaps, talked with friendly sellers.
The classics of Samarkand, of course you need to visit. There is still a flavor, prices are cheaper than in Russian cities, I will not say that you need to bring all this with you, but it is colorful
The bazaar is like a bazaar , with the products of the current region.
Samarkand tortillas near the Bibi Khanum complex are expensive here, you can buy cheaper from the opposite side at the entrance
Maybe I had high expectations, but I wanted something more than just a market, which is abundant all over the world. If you need to buy some products, then you can visit it. But if you want to see the oriental flavor, then it's not here.
A great market, the price of the same goods varies, if you go up the prices are correspondingly higher, if you go down lower, the prices are correspondingly lower
Интересно погулять по восточному базару, большой выбор фруктов, орехов специй. Цены слегка завышены , но если торговаться, легко скидывают. Отличная и недорогая кафешка с национальной кухней рядом с вещевым рынком около остановки автобусов.
The market is good, there is a large selection of fruits, vegetables, sweets, halva, spices, spices. You can buy saffron, but it's better to ask for Iranian. You can bargain. If you are a tourist, it is better to go around the entire market and find a place where the local population buys food. These are the best products.
Oriental flavor, tomatoes, cherries, strawberries, apricots, peaches, seasonings, nuts, meat, clothes - many buyers and sellers. You can walk for hours.
The classic market. There are a lot of classic local souvenirs and just products. It won't work for a long walk, but it's very possible to see or buy a beautiful set of dried fruits or dishes once. The choice is huge, more than anywhere else seen.
The market is fabulous, there is everything. I recommend visiting the market. But you need to spend a lot of time and go around all the shopping malls.
