“Bazaar”

Bazaar derives from the Persian language that goes back to the Middle Persian word “baha-char”. A bazaar is a street of shops or a market place where goods and services are exchanged or sold. I will write about the Tehran Grand Bazaar, in the capital of Iran, that is a traditional market place.

Tehran Bazaar is a historic place with different old building and story. “Throughout its history, the Grand bazaar has played host to banks and financiers, mosques  and guest houses.”(1) It has many corridors that are over 10 kilometers (6.214 miles) in length and there are several entrances. In two sides of the hall it has different types of shopping. Traditionally, Tehran Bazaar is subdivided into different types of merchandise and equipment with corridors for copper, carpets and rugs, papers, spices and precious metals. Now, there are added some other parts of modern merchandise in the bazaar like electronics, computers, cosmetics and sports goods.

The history of the Tehran Bazaar while the current bazaar is most associated with the 19th century onwards its roots go back much further. The mosque in  the bazaar is a very old place in Tehran that is  used for worshiping for trades people. But in these times it is used like a museum and used for visitation. 

Tehran bazaar is a big business center in Iran. Bazaar is an important place of commerce for Tehranis, Iranians, and travelling merchants. Two kinds of shopping are active in the bazaar. One kind of sale is retail and another is whole sale that merchandise sale into dozen or more. Most story offer merchant with phone and trader send and transmit merchandise with truck.

 Thousands of people entered into Bazaar every day and millions more finance trade in Bazaar. Bazaar essentially is a business center for commerce merchandise.
