Before the restoration, the Alai Bazaar was more attractive...Yes, it has become much more spacious, convenient car parking, and there are enough retail outlets...But there is also something depressing...
there is a lot of space, but the bazaar looks very sad..There are very, very few green spaces, the landscape designer of this project is either an amateur or did not work on this at all, an essential and important point, given our hot climate...There are not enough trees, shrub plantations, flower beds..in order for the Alai Bazaar, which claims to be the central market of the capital, to become a real oasis of greenery, vegetables and fruits...
The market has changed a lot and, in my opinion, not for the better. 30 years ago it was the best market in the city, now it is based on its former glory.
A very expensive market!!! For visitors who do not know the real prices!!! They cheat visitors and sell them 5 times more expensive!!! It's better to go to chorsa!!!

The coolest market in the capital, at least I like it, there is nothing personal, although there are no benefits and good mood for the taste and color of the comrades
One of the most expensive markets in the city. High prices are offset by the availability of fresh fruits and vegetables of all kinds all year round. It is also impossible not to note the purity and smallness of the bazaar.
If you need something rare, then definitely here, otherwise the market is for foreigners. It's expensive and nothing special. There is no jewelry range at all.
Alai Bazaar is undoubtedly one of the most famous and beautiful in Uzbekistan. It has been reconstructed more than once, the shopping mall is located in the very center of Tashkent and is the main market known to foreign guests.
This is his plus and minus at the same time. Fruits and vegetables, herbs and other products here are usually of high quality, but their prices are much higher compared to other markets in the capital for similar goods. Sometimes they are even inadequately high.
In addition to products, you can buy a lot of other goods, ranging from household goods to jewelry. There are many national souvenirs. There is also a Basket here, which is very convenient.
But in general, I think the market is not for the "average wallet".
The bazaar is good, the goods are of high quality, but the prices are appropriate. A multi-level parking lot should be built at the parking lot and the fee should be charged after the second hour of stay at the market. Install modern electronic charging devices. There are many organizations nearby, employees will be happy to park their cars.
