Buchara's Covered Bazaars

  
In Buchara one can visit the remaining three Covered Bazaars, Taki-Sarrafon (moneychangers), Taki-Telpak Fusushon (cap-makers), and Taki-Zargaton (jewellers), which had been renovated and reconstructed during the Soviet era. Now they're all hosting shops, which mostly sell to tourists, also inland tourists and pilgrims. The domed roofs are meant to protect merchandise and people from the heat.



Not only tourists from the West ...


A look at the domes



Inside - from carpets to boxes and foulards
