I just love the bazaar,
the way they are build, the winding paths,
the beautiful arches and bows, the hussle and bussle, the smell and sounds,
and getting lost in them! There is always someone who will show you the way out!!
This is (very) early in the morning.
(I am one for getting up early,
and then wondering where every one is..;-))

These photographs come from an album of photographs by George Matthew Bridges (1854-1929) of Kings Lynn.
Bridges was an artist and decorator who designed scenic bazaars. The album contains photos of the designs and of the finished bazaars around 1880. He may have created the album himself to show his works to customers.

The Spice Bazaar, (Turkish: 'Misir Çarsisi', or Egyptian Bazaar) in Istanbul, Turkey is one of the largest bazaars in the city. Located in Fatih, in the neighborhood of Eminönü, it is the second largest covered shopping complex after the Grand Bazaar.
There are several documents suggesting the name of the bazaar was first "New Bazaar". The building was endowed to the foundation of the New Mosque, and got its name ("Egyptian Bazaar", Turkish: Misir Çarsisi) because it was built with the revenues from Egypt. The word misir has a double meaning in Turkish: "Egypt" and "maize". This is why sometimes the name is wrongly translated as "Corn Bazaar". The bazaar was (and still is) the center for spice trade in Istanbul, but in the last years more and more shops of other type are replacing the spice shops.
The building itself is part of the külliye of the New Mosque, and rents from the shops within was intended to help pay for the upkeep of the mosque. The structure was designed by the chief court architect Koca Kasim Aga, but completed by architect Mustafa in 1660.
The Spice Bazaar is an “L”-shaped building, consisting of 88 vaulted rooms, almost all of which are now divided into an upper and lower story. Monumental gateways are at the ends of both halls, with chambers above each entrance way. The main entrance is in the southwest corner, facing the Yeni Mosque.
April 5, 2014. I walked 14.5 kilometers all through Istanbul today, including a visit to the Grand Bazaar. It turns out that all of Istanbul comes out for Saturday afternoon shopping, which resulted in very crowded and very colourful streets.
The Bazaar of Tabriz, located in the centre of the city of Tabriz, Iran, is one of the oldest and largest bazaars in the Middle East.
The Bazaar of Tabriz has a very good outlook. It consists of some sub-bazaars in various fields, including Amir Bazaar (for gold and jewellery), a shoe bazaar, Mozzafarieh (carpet bazaar) and many other subdivisions for special matters. In modern times in which numerous modern shops and malls have been established, the Bazaar remains as the economic heart of Tabriz. It is also used for the celebration of special ceremonies (especially Ashura).
Like other middle-eastern Bazaars, there are a numbers of mosques constructed behind the bazaar. Jome Mosque is the most notable of these.
The Grand Bazaar (Bāzār e Bozorg) is an old historical bazaar in Tehran, Iran. It is split into several corridors over 10 kilometres in length, each specializing in different types of goods, and has several entrances, with Sabze-Meydan being the main entrance.
In addition to shops, the Grand Bazaar contains mosques, guest houses, and banks.
The bazaar grew as a "city within a city" for much of the 19th century, but there has been an open bazaar long before. (Wikipedia)
