bazar
Open-air shopping area
Bazar is a variant spelling of bazaar—a market or collection of shops, especially in Middle Eastern or South Asian contexts.
The spelling with one *a* is less common in English but appears in some regional uses and older texts.
We wandered through the bazar looking for spices.
