Alay Dekhan Bazaar
Alay Dekhan Bazaar (Farmers Bazaar) is one of the old bazaars of Tashkent. Its name came from the name of the mountain “Alay”. The history of the Bazaar starts from ancient times when trading still existed and passed along the Great Silk Road.
Silk Road itself and trading took over at the vicinity of Alay Mountain. It was a very comfortable place for the meeting of tradespeople and consumers. Various spices, silks, ceramic and pottery works, fruits and vegetables were sold there.

After a while, people developed towns around this place. Year by year, the town grew and widened. Seems, not the bazaar arose in the city, but the modern Tashkent was born thanks to the bazaar.
