After the Museum we backtracked to the road below to Blue Mosque to the Arasta Bazaar which has a small row of stores on both sides of the street just below the Blue Mosque. The stuff for sale are for the more discriminating shopper I think and the place is less overwhelming than the Grand Bazaar. The first store we went into sold antique Central Asian carpets and kilims. Am posting some photos of that visit. It had beautiful embroidered textiles from Uzbekistan and Y bought one of the hand-embroidered caps (fortunately not an antique therefore affordable) from this wonderful store.
