My sensors were overwhelmed by the maze of colors, smells, and sounds that welcomed me in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Tabriz Grand Bazaar. The largest covered bazaar in the world spans over 7 km and is divided into different sections. I was impressed by the intricate brickwork and architectural details of the historic Timcheh section, which dates back to the early 17th century. The vaulted ceilings and intricate tile work showcased masterful Persian craftsmanship. As I roamed the labyrinthine alleys, I marveled at the diverse array of goods on sale, from spices and sweets to textiles and antiques. History is alive in every corner of this bustling market. I also learned about the unique cultural exchange that the bazaar created between East and West during the Silk Road era. A must-see for anyone visiting Tabriz.
