The bazaars are such a visual assault on the senses that you have to go back to your hotel & stare at a blank wall for a while to regain equilibrium!! A bit like India.
I took this at night in the Medina in Fès, Morocco. This is the kind of "Pile it high...sell anything" shop that used to exist in dear old Blighty in what is now a bygone age. Everything from spices to bleach...who could ask for more?
Navigating the Medina in Fès is an adventure in itself. You should have one of the following:
a) A very good sense of direction
b) A reliable local guide
c) A GPS system
d) A very big ball of string to unravel behind you
You could easily get lost and wander for weeks if you're not careful. It's vast in scale and a veritable labyrinth.
It's shots like this which remind me why I love my Canon EOS-5D. Its performance in low light conditions is astounding. This was taken at 1600 ISO, but I get very little noise even when I go to 3200 ISO. :-)

The Grand Bazaar (Turkish: Kapaliçarsi, meaning ‘Covered Bazaar’; also Büyük Çarsi, meaning ‘Grand Bazaar’) in Istanbul is one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world, with 61 covered streets and over 3,000 shops which attract between 250,000 and 400,000 visitors daily.
The construction of the future Grand Bazaar's core started during the winter of 1455/56, shortly after the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople. Sultan Mehmet II had an edifice erected devoted to the trading of textiles. It was named Cevâhir Bedestan (‘Bedesten of Gems’) and was also known as Bezzâzistan-i Cedîd (‘New Bedesten’) in Ottoman Turkish. The word bedesten is adapted from the Persian word bezestan, derived from bez ("cloth"), and means "bazaar of the cloth sellers". The building – named alternately in Turkish Iç (‘Internal’’), Atik (‘Ancien’), or Eski (‘Old’) Bedesten – lies on the slope of the third hill of Istanbul, between the ancient Fora of Constantine and of Theodosius. It was also near the first sultan's palace, the Old Palace (Eski Sarayi), which was also in construction in those same years, and not far from the Artopoléia (??t?p??e?a) quarter, a location already occupied in Byzantine times by the bakers.
The construction of the Bedesten ended in the winter of 1460/61, and the building was endowed to the waqf of the Aya Sofya Mosque. Analysis of the brickwork shows that most of the structure originates from the second half of the 15th century, although a Byzantine relief representing a Comnenian eagle, still enclosed on the top of the East Gate (Kuyumcular Kapisi) of the Bedesten has been used by several scholars as proof that the edifice was a Byzantine structure.
