So basically, straight from the train I headed to the flea market in Bukhara, since it only works in the morning on Sundays. A man called me a taxi, and I told the driver I needed the flea market. He said it had been removed from the caravan bazaar and moved somewhere else that nobody knows about 😄 We drove there, going through the steppe, past donkeys with carts, camels 🤣 I had absolutely no connection, no idea where I was, with a suitcase and bags, and ended up in a huuuuge flea market city)))
It’s definitely for those who enjoy hardcore experiences) seriously intense. I love that kind of thing) I’ve already made it out, all good 😁
here are some videos
I bought some interesting things. Of course, you really need to know how to dig out treasure from the trash there. You need a trained eye. But almost everything is basically free. Though you really do have to dig through actual garbage). Prices for dishes: a teapot — 15 Russian rubles (10 cents). A dress — 80 rubles (1$).
Soviet porcelain (a bear from LFZ) for 70 rubles (1$)! And I didn’t even bargain, just grabbed it right away. An embroidered dress with beads and rhinestones — for 200 rubles (3$)... This is at Dalniy Lager, in Samarkand.
You’ll be amazed by the prices at the flea markets in Bukhara, Urgut, and Samarkand — in a good way, cheaper than there only if it’s free 😁
An embroidered dress with beads and rhinestones — for 200 rubles (3$)
And in Urgut it’s even cheaper.
