Categories worth looking for
- Tile- and calligraphy-inspired decorative objects that echo the old city’s ornament.
- Textiles, embroidered pieces and small leather or metal work.
- Printed or hand-made paper goods and locally produced sweets.
- These are categories, not endorsements of any particular maker or shop.
Checking before you buy
Inspect the object in daylight, ask what it is made of, and confirm the total price and any packaging before paying. If a claim about age, provenance or "antique" status is made, treat it as unverifiable in a casual purchase and do not pay a premium on that basis.
Responsible buying
Buying a small item from a working bazaar supports local trade, but avoid objects that appear to be removed historic fabric, tiles or architectural fragments. Do not photograph shopkeepers or their goods at close range without permission.
