To be in Samarkand and not visit the Siab Bazaar is unforgivable!
Remember, it is important to bargain, as they see a tourist multiplied by 2 or 3. Do not buy right away, be sure to evaluate all the food numeroclature.
There are a lot of beggars walking around, so keep an eye on things.
I saw a very interesting product for the first time at the Siab bazaar in Samarkand: wolf teeth. These are amulets in the form of wolf teeth. For luck. For money. According to the sellers themselves, I cannot answer For the authenticity of the goods!
We arrived at the closing, but we managed to buy souvenirs, if you bargain, you can take it twice as cheap, there are all clothes, groceries, dishes, etc.
It's dirty, there are a lot of beggars. But the prices are low and the choice is good. You can find everything from local seasonal fruits and vegetables to expensive carpets. I recommend you to visit. He took off two stars for dirt and baubles, which even the local police do not chase.
One of the biggest bazaars I've ever seen. The assortment of dried fruits and nuts is quite large.the prices are favorable compared to Russia. You can also bargain. If you want to buy a cheaper product, then feel free to follow the back rows. Everything is more expensive ahead, it is done for tourists.
I slipped through. The goal was to get to the Bibi Khanim mosque. I managed to buy freshly squeezed pomegranate juice... The Oriental bazaar as it is. By the way, I managed to bargain...
There is something to see! And, if the stomach is strong, you can try a lot)) An abundance of oriental sweets, spices, and other goodies... The bazaar is open from five in the morning, and works until seven in the evening. There is an opportunity to taste a very delicious pilaf! However, try to do it up to two or three hours in the afternoon. Otherwise you risk being left without pilaf))
I must say this is trash, lovers of natural Uzbek trade go ahead, cars are up and down, the streets are littered with low-quality goods,there are beggars,there is no cleanliness, it is hot, there is no discipline and a lot of pluckers, prices are acceptable, but they overestimate tourists, be vigilant and attentive, but there are also kind ones who treat just like that, ask take a picture if you are not a local
Assalom allekum or good time of the day dear readers of this review. The bazaar is located close to the center of Samarkand. There are a lot of interesting goods and food. The oldest bazaar is several centuries old.

The disadvantage is that there are few ATMs on the territory, and they are very necessary, since not all sellers have the opportunity to make a payment by transfer to an account, not to mention just paying by card
The market is huge! There is everything! But be careful: check pistachios for freshness, they tried to sell us completely moldy ones. And there are also many beggars
Great market! The truth is less than in Bukhara. Take a look at the department with suits and dressing gowns - there are no such in Bukhara or Khiva! The robe was charged for 180, the suit for 250. It's a good price. Strawberries for 30-40 thousand per kilo. There is also a good tea house and an ATM!

The market is old, there is little assortment for fresh food.
More emphasis is placed on tourists and souvenirs.
It would be good to implement it in a modern way and meet the requirements of customers.
Tip : before you buy something, compare the price of the same product from your neighbors, they may differ significantly) ☝️☝️😉
Siyab Bazaar is one of the oldest markets in the world. It was from here that the caravans of the Great Silk Road passed. Tourists are respected here and are fed free of charge with oriental sweets, which you will not find anywhere else. It was here that the great people of the world used to come to enjoy and taste delicious sweets. There are many things to say about Siyab bazaar. It is better to come and see and enjoy once than to hear about this place thousands of times
You will not find anything that is not available in the Moscow markets here. You can buy good seasonal fruits and vegetables, but you need to buy in the lower part of the market, it's cheaper there. Souvenir ceramics are also better to buy not in the central rows, but in shops in the far part. Save 50 percent.
This is a tourist bazaar. And what it can be, adjacent to one of the main attractions of the city. All souvenir makers have the same Chinese shawls made of viscose, which are successfully issued for 100% wool
It is necessary to approach this campaign seriously, that is, to go around the entire bazaar, find out the prices, you must bargain, you also need to try
