Vakil Bazaar is a historic covered market in central Shiraz, dating back to the Zand dynasty. Its long vaulted brick corridors are lined with shops selling Persian carpets, spices, textiles, jewelry, and handicrafts. The bazaar is known for its traditional architecture, including brick domes and windcatchers that keep it cool. Visitors can watch artisans at work, haggle for souvenirs, and soak in the lively local atmosphere. The bazaar also connects to other historic sites like the Vakil Mosque and the Vakil Bathhouse.
