Jayma Bazaar
Жайма базары
An old market stretching more than a kilometer along the Ak-Bura River, one of Central Asia's largest open-air markets, where Silk Road trade has continued for two thousand years.
Jayma means "weekly market." The bazaar spreads along both banks of the river, with sections selling dried fruit, spices, fruit and vegetables, flatbreads, knives, fabrics, felt hats and secondhand goods. You can also watch blacksmiths and hat makers at work. The food stalls serve Fergana-style plov, samsa and lagman noodles. It's crowded, so keep an eye on your belongings and ask permission before photographing people. The late morning to early afternoon is the busiest time.
Opening hours
About 07:00–18:00 (some stalls closed Mondays)
