It is interesting to walk around the oriental bazaar, a large selection of fruits, nuts and spices. The prices are slightly inflated, but if you bargain, they easily discount. An excellent and inexpensive cafe with national cuisine next to the clothing market near the bus stop.
The classic market, you won't be able to pay with a card. At 18.00, sellers are already starting to slowly wind down trading.
It is necessary to bargain by 20-30%) prices for the same product from different sellers are about the same.
For an example of the price level: I bought a set of nuts (in the form of a plate) at the market for 30,000 soums, the exact same set at the Samarkand airport cost 150,000 soums
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.
Samarkand. It's impressive. For the first time we saw new varieties of melon, beautifully laid figs. And what delicious pears and grapes. They took exactly what was growing in Uzbekistan.
It is interesting to visit the oriental bazaar with reasonable auctions and prices

Haggle, haggle, and haggle again! Eyes are running away, beautiful national clothes and dried fruits. I recommend doing a couple of laps and writing down the prices, and then compare where they offer cheaper, but not worse, and only then buy)

In my opinion, it's an ordinary oriental market, except that there are more souvenirs and clothes. As well as a standard set of products, spices, etc. Prices are about the same as in other bazaars. Probably the place of bargaining is ancient, but it does not show up in any way. All the buildings, fences, shopping malls are quite modern.
It's a colorful place, I like to visit markets in different countries, it's definitely worth a visit.
Souvenirs are cheaper here than in other places, you can bargain
Everything went in the best traditions of the East, I was misled and I bought a bunch of things I didn't need, when I came to my senses I returned and exchanged everything I didn't need for the right
sellers with a sense of humor replied "so we are 2 centuries old merchants"
The bazaar is aimed at tourists. Accordingly, the prices are through the roof! A crowd of people. Sellers do not bargain much. Although we were assured that bargaining is absolutely mandatory. Such a place for shopping. If you just look at it, then it's normal. It's big, there are a lot of different products. And you can buy it cheaper elsewhere.
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.
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.
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.
Grocery store, we have a lot of sweets. It's a pity for those who sell salads on their haunches. Clothes and shoes have become much smaller than before and are inconveniently placed. The passages are narrow. There is no assotriment
5- that's not to say that an authentic place for locals, a greater bias towards tourists is made. Such a tourist attraction.
The feeling of a bazaar was only on the outskirts, where local aunts sell tortillas and figs from baskets 👍
Very colorful, authentic atmosphere, and if you do not pay attention to the mountains of Chinese consumer goods, exotic lovers will always find something interesting. I bought a cool Uzbek tambourine for my child. I will not mention the price - it is ridiculous in comparison with the same instrument in a music store.
Super oriental flavor, there is no bank for currency exchange, it used to be, but for some reason it was closed and you have to change money changers at an unfavorable rate
This is an amazingly atmospheric place. The layout of fruits and vegetables, the amount of spices and dried fruits is simply amazing. Be sure to visit. Be sure to bargain.
The oldest bazaar in the region. A huge selection of ceramics and spices. In the center there is an old teahouse with inexpensive and delicious cuisine. Be sure to visit and do not forget to bargain!
For the local flavor only here! This bazaar is saturated with the atmosphere of the East! There is everything here: from fragrant herbs, freshly baked tortillas, fruits and vegetables to souvenirs of very good quality!
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)
Traditional bazaar, food for locals, everything else (dried fruits, souvenirs, nuts) for tourists. Excellent fruits, local tortillas. It is better to buy sweets not on the shelves, but in stores around the perimeter of the market.
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
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.
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.
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
Recommend.to bargain to the last. Considering that this bazaar is located next to a tourist destination, the prices there are overpriced. If you walk around the city, the same things can be found much cheaper
