Oloy (Alay) Bazaar

Oloy (Alay) Bazaar is a traditional market in central Tashkent, within easy reach from many parts of the city. It offers seasonal fruit and vegetables, dried fruits, nuts, spices, and local sweets. The trading area is relatively compact and lively, but unhurried: you can walk between the stalls, look closely at the produce, and choose something for the table or as a gift.

The selection changes with the season. This is a practical place to buy items common in the region, such as pomegranates, grapes, melons, dried apricots, raisins, nuts, cumin, and other spices. Alay Bazaar is oriented more toward everyday local shopping than souvenirs, so it offers a calm view of ordinary market life in Tashkent.
