Sights And Signs In Navoi

The Navoi city area has a handful of nice statues, murals and signs to see. Take a look.

A big welcome from a billboard outside the Navoi airport. Planes! Trains! Statues! Development!

Going with some literary classics for city statues. Behold Fahad, romantic hero of a poem by Uzbek favorite writer, Alisher Navoi. How about a jug of water? See the Three Sisters, named for the Russian Chekov story.

Mysterious eye in the sky.

From the past, more future signs. Rockets! Dams! Mining! Development! Death from the past, iconic Weeping Mother statue at the war memorial.

Petroglyph guide. Handy sign at Sarmishay Park.

Wandering The Navoi Central Market

Time to shop Navoi. The big, main market in town is classic Uzbek. It's a sprawling complex of stalls, shops, carts, food, dry goods, cheap hardware. Big box retail before the chains.

Grand entrance.

See the laughing woman at stall 238 for good non bread. Then, go grab some traditional carrot salad by the cupful.

The center of the covered complex. Lonely cart.

Onions are in. All of them. "Psst. We give them piles of these things and only get scratch back. Strike!"
