Siyob Bazaar, Large farmers market near Bibi Khanum Mosque in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.
The bazaar spans over 7 hectares with seven covered pavilions featuring triple-arched entrances decorated with blue majolica tiles and numerous shopping arcades.
The market's name originates from the Siyob River, which translates to 'black water' in Persian and marks a significant trading location since medieval times.
Local bakers produce traditional non bread varieties, each distinguished by specific patterns stamped with chekich tools, following centuries-old Samarkand baking methods.
Located at the intersection of Tashkentskaya and Shakhi Zinda streets, the market offers fresh produce, spices, dried fruits, and regional specialties daily.
Vendors display specialized products like nabot, crystal-like sugar formations made from grape juice and spices, grown on suspended threads over several days.
