An atmospheric place. The aromas of spices, oils, and Bahur herbs beckon, and the peddlers beckon... But that's the whole point of this market. Feel the contrasts of the great city.

This is the second time we have been here. The first time, it's not enough to go on an excursion, the second time to wander by yourself. It seems to me that you can find anything here. If I'm in the Emirates, I'd like to come back here again. Different streets, lots of oriental beauty

I didn't like the bazaar! It is because of the touts and the high price tags. A similar product can be purchased in stores for a reasonable price. Bags, glasses, watches, spices, gold - all this with an incredible twist. If they reduce it, it's still expensive. The merchant asked me to take a picture of him as a souvenir.

Totally sucks! They are obsessive, they almost force themselves into their pavilion, they lie, they are just fakes and consumer goods. For example, an "antique" padlock with a nickel-plated shackle! According to legend, the 19th century castle. Don't waste your time

Nice neighborhood, with an authentic bazaar. And here you can go boating. Private tour 40 minutes 120 dirhams, not an hour as promised. A lot of tourists, cheating in the price of the boat)))

If we consider it as a market for the purpose of buying something interesting, then everything is fine. But there is one thing, the prices at the entrance to the market x4 x6 x10 and so on from the real price of the goods, it was just a shock when at the entrance the chenille is already worth 300 dirhams, inside the market you find the same for 70 ... Do not be fooled by the touts, you can immediately send far away...Look at what the eye likes, not what is offered. The better the advertisement, the worse the product, and this is more applicable to this market than ever. Also, keep a close eye on the money, do not flash your wallet with bills, carry the main money in your bag, and the money you pay with in the hotel room, the seller will scan you with his eyes and pass information about you through assistants to his friends on the same line, this is not a joke at all... In conclusion, the market is cool, you can and should trade very actively, find something interesting, and even try a lot for free, but be careful and vigilant!

Tourists are being deceived, they are being shortchanged- be prepared for this) It's an unpleasant place, like all markets in the world, probably. Prices are lower if you bargain than in more civilized places. Personally, we didn't really buy anything except a couple of parfaits and tea.

The market is still not cheap by Russian standards. Especially gold. But the gold is there, my shock was in shock. Full-length dresses of a man made of gold. Would anyone really buy such a thing? Even if he buys it for what?

A huge selection of gold products, anyone will find a product to their liking and in accordance with the availability of financial opportunities, they accept euros, dollars, and dirhams,there are exchangers where you can exchange any currency, I changed tenge for dirhams and also paid with a card from the Caspian Bank, cards from the People's Bank are accepted.You can bargain and bring down the prices of gold products well, it is very difficult to resist and not buy something for a gift with such a rich assortment.

If you came to this market for souvenirs, then leave here. Even with the haggling, it will be too expensive. The prices are inadequate, designed for a fool. If you want to buy souvenirs, I recommend Gifts Village (located just about in the same area)

It's interesting, of course, but somehow it's empty, either we arrived late, or no one goes to the bazaars anymore...The location is next to a picturesque canal, from which the horror soars. The market is huge.

The atmosphere decides everything. There is plenty of it here, I enjoyed haggling at the market, the smell of spices and the smiles of the merchants. There was a lot of obsession somewhere, of course, but overall everything is fine. Boats for dirhams are generally top!

It is a region full of historical buildings. There are restaurants and cafes belonging to different cultures, where there are mostly souvenir shops. Don't buy anything without negotiating.

Do not buy anything in the first rows, they will gain confidence, show their family, become close relatives for you and give you 10 times more expensive, go deep into the market, everything is much cheaper there

A picturesque place. There are a lot of tourists. But moving away from the hiking trails, life is more measured, prices are lower, and walking is more enjoyable. Lots of coffee shops.

To see the color purely is fashionable to go. It's not worth buying anything, in the supermarket-the same sweets and spices are 10 times cheaper
