Please enter a description:<a href=gallery/bazaarc.gif><img src=gallery/baza-tmb.gif align=right ALT="The Bazaar"></a> While there are no doubt many bazaars to be found on Sinai, the most famous and the most worthy of being called "The Bazaar" would be that of Rephidim. This is an unorganized sprawl of streetside booths and tents in an area of the city officially designated for "future expansion", but which sees use nonetheless as long as the proper bribes are made for officials to look the other way. Even so, the Temple generally has a presence in the form of guards to keep the peace ... as tempers flare often in the Bazaar, as a result of overly heated arguments over the value of a product, and accusations of trickery. For the most part, though, the Bazaar has a colorful, carnival atmosphere, and quite a share of street entertainers who work for a few shekels to be tossed in an upturned basket or hat. Even the noblesse can be seen at the Bazaar, to obtain rare and unusual imports, or just to see the sights. <p> The Bazaar is best known for its everchanging nature, as booths tend to get put up or torn down daily, and a significant portion of the shopkeepers are the erratic and highly motivated Kavi. However, there are also a few more permanent storefronts, set up in old ruined buildings, serving as both residences and businesses, since there are no zoning laws to speak of in this area. <p> The most noteworthy landmark of the Bazaar is the Clock Tower, visible from most any part of the area. The architecture of the Bazaar is greatly varied, a result of ages of being built and rebuilt, falling into ruin, then being modified to suit the needs of those who have reclaimed it in recent times for the purpose of making sales. There are buildings built upon buildings, and bridges that span streets and connect upper levels together, turning the Bazaar into a confusing maze in some quarters, best navigated by those with guides - or with wings. <p> Many of the storefronts tend to "ghettoize", as evidenced by "Little Babel" - a cluster of stores and booths catering to Eeee clientele, which tends to move about the Bazaar any given day.
