Siyob Bazaar is the central market of Samarkand, a bustling hub for locals and tourists. Stalls overflow with fresh fruits, vegetables, and dried nuts, while spice vendors offer colorful piles of cumin, saffron, and paprika. The highlight is the bread section, where round 'non' loaves are baked in tandyr ovens. Visitors can sample local snacks and buy souvenirs like embroidered textiles.
