First of all, one interesting thing I would like to share is that, in this city/bojor place I spent hundreds of thousands on shopping, which made me feel like a millionaire ✨️ 🪄 🔮 ✨️ ➡️..(just kidding 😀) Bozor or bazaar word itself a magical words ✨️ to attract a 👩 women/lady or annoying for men but when you enter a Siyob Bazor just like the word magical 🎩 ,you will enjoy the the roaming around and definitely buy something from the market 😉. But the main thing about this market is that you should prepare yourself to hear thousands (in terms of money, the smallest note is 1000 SOM) and bargain to buy the stuff. When I entered the market, I felt the same. After hearing the sound 100,000 or 50,000 SOM ,I was awestruck, but When I asked to give me 25,000, without realizing it , they were ready to give me that stuff .I was thinking 🤔 that should I have been told them lesser 😁😁😁 but in the end, when calculated in my currency, it made me satisfied 😊.

It's a nice outdoor Souk market to share with outsiders. The products are out in the open, and people touch them with bare hands. If you're big on hygiene, this place may not be for you. Sometimes you have to throw the consciousness out the door to experience culture. I tried a couple of the dry goods (persimmons, persimmons with walnut), fresh press pomegranate juice. Samarkand bread (big 1.5kg wheel shaped dense chewy bread), bananas and mandarins. Everything tasted good. I feel the bread can knock someone out. The 2 things I don't like about the place is, the repetitive products. How does one make a living with 25 other stalls selling the same thing?!?! The second thing is these ladies holding a baby (picture shared), or has a young child begging for money and food (watch out for ladies with a child, they travel in groups. When you give them something, they quickly smile and run off to their other friends to let them know, that's the stupid tourist who'll give you things. I don't know if this is camaraderie or showing off what they got that day. I was disgusted watching their activities. They keep having children, but does not find a job. Obviously what they are doing is working, which is why they happily continue this. There are polices that gives them warnings/timeout like how you reprimand a child in daycare, but the ladies treat it as a game. Nothing happens to them, they keep coming back.) Other than that, it's worth taking a look. There are souvenir shops inside. The one outside the wall gives better deals.

The marketplace is right beside the Bibi-Khanym Mosque so it may be worth dropping by, but oerhaps only for that one reason. The place is indeed very big, but I didn’t find it too interesting, especially as compared to other bazaars in other big cities in Uzbekistan. It also lacked unique features other than the fact that it is big and has a long history, that merit going out of the way to visit. As a local marketplace, it has shops for fruits, vegetables, spices, and various linds of dry goods mostly for cooking and dining. But there are some shops that do sell souvenirs; I did find the prices here were a bit more inflated than elsewhere.

And the good things about this place is the Price. Everyone is almost good and will not try to rip you off even though you are a foreigner tourist (with exception of one or two). Do visit this market and you will get almost everything from here.
