very busy, but fun
Very authentic bazaar often filled with local people buying their weekly shopping. It meanders through tight little streets and you get the feeling it hasn't changed at all since it was first set up. Note: they don't just sell spices, they sell cheeses, fish, teas etc.
Negotiate prices
Great place to buy medicinal saffron
Very busy but worth going for the atmosphere
