Bazaars and Shopping Centers

Uzbekistan’s retail landscape spans from ancient Silk Road trading hubs to sleek contemporary malls. In Samarkand and Bukhara, historic bazaars like Siyob and the spice markets offer traditional Samarkand bread, hand-woven suzanis, and regional spices beneath turquoise domes. In Tashkent, modern complexes like Next and Ecobozor provide climate-controlled shopping with international brands and entertainment. The Fergana Valley’s Kumtepa Bazaar remains a primary source for authentic Ikat silks and traditional textiles.
