Dating back to the 17th century, the Isfahan Bazaar holds a special place in Iran’s history. It’s famous and stands as one of the oldest and largest bazaars in the Middle East. This long, arched corridor, stretching two kilometers, links the Qeysarieh gate to the Jame Mosque. You can find it in the northern part of Naqsh-e Jahan Square.

What’s unique here is that some shops have been open for over 400 years, selling the same things. This bazaar is a hub for handicrafts in Isfahan, where you can buy all sorts of stuff like spices, Persian carpets, and beautiful handmade silver jewelry.

Both the bazaar and Naqsh-e Jahan Square have earned a special spot on the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list.
