What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Alay Bazaar is praised for its cleanliness, manageable size, and wide selection of fresh produce, dried fruits, and Uzbek souvenirs. Visitors appreciate the renovated BAXT-NAZIR section for its sweets and juices. However, some find the market to be expensive, particularly for tourists, and note it lacks the vibrant character of other Tashkent markets.
"This is a market in the Oloy district.
There is a large dome-shaped sales area near the main street, and behind it is a market under a large roof.
There are many vegetables, fruits, and spices at the stalls. The products look very nice and are displayed neatly. Many of them are wrapped in plastic.
There are also many restaurants, and I had lagman. By the way, there was no beer.
The renovated [BAXT-NAZIR Мясные И Молочные Продукты] is excellent, and on the first floor they sell cheap sweets and drinks, and the sweets and juices were quite delicious. They also have coffee, but it looks like it's been roasted a long time, so take a closer look.
The toilets are 3,000 soʻm"

"On the positive side, the market is clean and has a nice open area. However, Alay Market is quite expensive, and they charge tourists much higher prices. It’s disappointing. Instead of overpricing, they should aim to make tourists feel welcome and offer fair prices to encourage more people to shop"
Khawla alsuwaidi
"Wide variety of dry fruits and fruits, but expensive compared to other market however it’s worth buying."
