Where in Asia would you find what is reputed to be the world's largest Bazaar & has been so for hundreds of years, and also the the name of the major highway that links this city to the outside world.?

 

[Ramjet]

The Grand Bazaar is a historical market situated in the capital of Iran, Tehran. Throughout its history, in addition to shops the Grand bazaar has contained banks and financiers, mosques and guest houses.

 

[Pr2cv]

No, Further east from Tehran,-----the grand Bazaar in Tehran is huge however,I got lost in that labaryth looking for some copper ware years ago.
It's on the old silk route from Europe to China

 

[Ramjet]

Istanbul's Grand Bazaar?

 

[Pr2cv]

Istanbulis not east of Tehran

 

[Ramjet]

Istanbulis not east of Tehran

Several places claim to have the largest bazaar.
More reading required.
