Siyob Bozori

From Shah-i-Zinda necropolis , we took a walk down passing by Khazret-Khizr mosque to Siyob Bazaar. Siyob Bazaar is located adjacent to the Bibi-Khanym Mosque. At main entrance of this bazaar is a triple arch lined with blue majolica. I was told the area of this market is more than 7 hectares. It consists of seven large covered pavilions with counters, as well as several other pavilions with shop. The Bazaar is well spaced, every counter is divided into sections with fresh produce of vegetables, fruits, meat , fish & souvenirs. You can almost find anything here, including flatbreads (several types) and tandyr-nan fruits ,oriental spices, cereals and food shop. There are several pavilions with shops that has clothing and household supplies. We stop for lunch in one of the food shop (OSHXONA) . The service & food is good. It is worth the time walking through this Bazaar, it gives a great experience into the locals life and trade as we browse through their local produce and handicraft.

Lovely eastern bazaar! Could find great selection of just about anything. They sell souvenirs for less, but my favorite part is fruits section - excellent selection of best in season fruits. Bargaining is the norm on these type of bazaars in Central Asia

One of my favourite places in the city. No tourist trap price scams like the other sights. The hustle of markets with bargaining for the best prices. Definitely buy some tasty nuts, spices for at home and fruits here! Had better shaslik but it wasn't bad either.

From buying various dry fruits and ingredients to buying fresh fruits and vegetables to buying clothes and exchanging money, you can almost buy everything you need from a market place. The prices are very fair and the sellers are very friendly and helpful and honest.

Had a quick trip here on weekend. Im not sure is it the right to buy sweets/nuts in here or not as there are lots of birds hopping here and there even eating the samples 🤣 But i did buy some souvenir here..dont forget to hard bargain as they gave pricey rate to foreigners (i found out that what i bought is almost 50% higher from other place)

Siyob Bazar is vibrant and a great place to experience local life. You'll find fresh produce, dried fruits, spices, handcrafted items and beautiful plates with intricate designs. I picked up some dried apricot nuts here and enjoyed exploring the stalls

Cool market to see I loved the dried fruits more than Tashkent There wasnt any part with food like shashlik or dumplings so it’s just fruit, spices, touristy things and vegetable and fresh meat and bread.

I visited the Siyob Bozori/Bazaar and it's full of life; bustling with energy and color. It’s well-organized and surprisingly neat for such a busy market, which made exploring enjoyable. Souvenirs are definitely overpriced, but with good negotiation skills you’ll do just fine. The real gem here is the selection of dry fruits; fresh, tasty, and worth taking home. A visit is highly recommended if you want to experience the local market vibe in Samarkand.
