Shops & Bazaars


logo


A bazaar (Persian: بازار‎) is a marketplace, often covered, typically found in areas of Persian and some Islamic culture.
The word derives from the Persian word bāzār,
whose etymology goes back to the Pahlavi meaning "the place of prices".

Bazaars in Iran usually consist of a complex of covered streets
lined with shops and stalls, which miscellaneous articles are sold.

Hanging around bazaars does not only provide opportunities for shopping local goods
but also offer a microscopic view on the daily lives of Iranian people and culture.

Let's go Bazaaring then!!!
