We are at the Siab Bazaar, right next to the Bibi-Khanym Mosque. This is a 600 year old bazaar. I think this might have been the nicest bazaar that I’ve ever seen. The floor and vendor booths were all marble. The overhead wood roof was equally beautiful. It was spotlessly clean with flowers and decorative touches. Yes, very nice indeed as you can see in the first photo. This is just one section of the bazaar but it went on down the hill to a much larger area. I tried to pick photos of goods that we saw less often, so not the regular fruits and vegetables. They were selling all sorts of things.

The egg lady is in the second photo. She’s got the big browns, the small browns, the big whites, the small whites, and the quail eggs. I think this guy ordered two hands full of quail eggs.

A honey seller is in the third photo and you could get anything honey related from her. It all looked very good.

Around the edges of the market, people were selling goods as well. This woman in the fourth photo did not have a booth but she had plenty of customers. She was selling dried fruit, cherries, and seeds.

The last photo was taken near the end of our tour of the market. My guess is that this guy had heard of my reputation for taking samples but not purchasing anything, so he continued on with his nap. But still, he did an impressive job of stacking his dried fruit and nuts. Nice marketing.
