Peshawar's Qissa Khawani bazaar is a fantastic place. Here, it seems that things have not changed over the last 1000 years.

Qissa Khawani Bazaar

The old city was enclosed with a wall and sixteen gates, the most famous gate was the Kabuli gate but nowadays only the name remains the gate is gone. It was the gate of the Qissa Khawani Bazaar, the famous Storytellers bazaar, before this was a camping site for Caravans and soldiers, where professional storytellers recited ballads and tales of war and love. I passed in this street, I did not see any storytellers, and maybe they are gone same as the gate. But I did see some guys repairing engines on the side walk.

	Qissa Khawani Bazaar: QISA KHAWANI BAZAAR

Extending from west to east in the heart of the city is the romantic 'Street of Story-tellers' - the Qissa Khawani Bazzar. In olden days, this was the site of camping ground for caravans and military adventures, where professional story-tellers recited ballads and tales of war and love to throngs of traders and soldiers. Today the story-tellers are gone but the atmosphere lingers on. Bearded tribesmen bargain with city traders over endless cups of green tea. Fruit stalls look small colourful pyramids. People from everywhere throng the crowded street. Afghans, Iraqis, Uzbeks, Tajiks, Afridis, and Shinwaris move around with ease and grace in their colourful native robes and run shoulders with the Western tourists-lost in a world so different, so enchanting.
