Panjakent Central Bazaar
Бозори марказии Панҷакент
A lively traditional market in the town center, its stalls piled high with dried apricots, walnuts, flatbread, seasonal fruit and spices, full of local atmosphere.
The liveliest spot in Panjakent, the central bazaar sells dried apricots, raisins, walnuts, flatbread, qurut (dried cheese balls) and seasonal fruit. In summer and autumn, the peaches, apricots and grapes from the Zeravshan Valley are especially sweet. Snack stalls nearby serve plov and shashlik. A mosque dating from the early 20th century stands near the bazaar. Mornings are the busiest time. Ask vendors' permission before taking photos. Before setting off for Seven Lakes or the Fann Mountains, stock up on trail snacks here.
