The Tabriz Bazaar is the one of the oldest and largest covered bazaars in the Middle East and is located in the centre of the city.  This spectacular structure consists of several bazarche, such as the Amir Bazaar (gold and jewelry), the Mozzafarieh (carpet bazaar), a shoe bazaar, and many more for a variety of other goods. Although numerous new shops and malls have been established in modern times, the Tabriz Bazaar remains the economic heart of the city and north western Iran.

Here are some photographs we took on our recent visit.
