Market Central Siab

The market of Samarkand, which is relatively close to Registan Square, has a different location than the old one. In fact, this famous square was where the bazaar of the city used to be, but it's now a tourist spot. This is a daily market with mainly vegetables, bread and nuts, under a blue tile and plastic structure to provide shelter from the harsh Uzbek summer sun. It's where the Samarkand locals shop. I have always been struck by the delicacy of the perfect pyramids in which they display their goods in a most aesthetic arrangement. You always end up wanting to buy something, even if it's only a few pistachios for the road.
