Looking at the definition and etymology of the word, look's like a bazaar in East Asia is a sale where the money that is made goes to charity (not really the aim of this ~Agora). Especially in the Middle East, the Balkans, North Africa and South Asia the word had been generally used to define a marketplace usually consisting of multiple small stalls or shops. However, temporary open markets elsewhere, such as in the West, might also designate themselves as bazaars. The ones in the Middle East were traditionally located in vaulted or covered streets that had doors on each end and served as a city's central marketplace. Street markets are the European and North American equivalents.
