We’re guests in Samarkand, and yesterday we случайно walked into a local sweets shop and picked up these incredibly delicious treats) they let you taste everything ) the girl told us that her family has been making baklava for four generations already ) the shop’s name is on the box ). I always thought I didn’t like baklava &#x1f644; until I tried the pistachio one &#x1f601;</p>

<p>Hello, where in Samarkand can I buy a handmade knife?</p>

<p data-start="169" data-end="533">When you enter the Siab Bazaar from the Bibikhanum Mosque side, you’ll see a bunch of souvenir shops on the right – they sell knives too.<br data-start="326" data-end="329" />If they don’t have what you’re looking for, just walk to the end of that row and you’ll find another row of shops. There are at least two souvenir stores there that sell knives and gifts at good prices.</p>
<p data-start="535" data-end="716" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">BUT – just a heads up – these knives are mostly decorative, not meant for everyday use.<br data-start="622" data-end="625" />For practical, everyday knives, people usually get them from the city of Chust in Namangan.</p>
