Very much delicious stuff at the bazaar

Anyone for a ride in the Ferris Wheel ?
Trekki Says: The southern side of al-Farghani park is reserved for amusement. It has lots of little cafes (yes, I think they are more cafes than chaikhanas) with sunshades and tables to relax and sip coffee, tea or soft drinks and eat some snacks. People watching on the evening is fun...
