City guideSiyob Bazaar / eastern old city

Overview & visitor information

Shodiyona Shopping Centre is a mapped three-level retail building immediately north of the Siyob Bazaar area. Its position near Bibi-Khanym and Hazrat Khizr makes it a practical modern-retail stop only if the itinerary already brings visitors to the eastern old city.

Keep expectations specific: the source confirms a shopping-centre building and location, not a curated tenant list or visitor programme. Use the map pin for orientation, then inspect individual shops and operating hours locally.
