Visit Guide to Jayma Bazaar

One can find everything there: food, clothing, household goods, textiles, souvenirs and even a cattle market. The majority of the goods are Chinese-made, but everything is cheap and in plenty. The Osh bazaar is considered one of the Central Asian most colorful and biggest markets by sales turnover. And what is more, it has been operating on the same place over 2,000 years, since the time when Osh was crossed by one of the branches of the legendary Silk Road.

Getting There

The huge market stretches for kilometers along the western Ak-Bura riverbank.

What to Expect

Equally exotic is a meat market, where in addition to conventional beef and mutton they sell horse meat, and various meat by-products, which are used as food too.
