Inside the World's Weirdest Markets | Dye Pits, Camel Fairs and Floating Stalls | 4K Documentary

Inside the world's weirdest markets: the dye pits of Fez, the Pushkar camel fair, the Tokyo tuna auction, and floating markets in Thailand, Vietnam and Borneo. What is the weirdest market in the world? This 4K travel documentary visits 12 strange markets that still trade the old way: by hand, by boat, by weight, and by the moon. In Fez, men spend the day standing in stone vats of dye at the Chouara tannery. In Rajasthan, camels are decked out in beads and pompoms for the Pushkar fair, which follows the full moon of Kartik. In Tokyo, a single bluefin tuna sold for 510 million yen in January 2026. On the Mekong at Cai Rang, nobody shouts: each boat hangs its goods from a tall pole. Along the way: the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul, Jemaa el-Fna in Marrakech, the rowing sellers of Damnoen Saduak, the women traders of Lok Baintan in Borneo, the Chinese fishing nets of Kochi, the abras, spices and gold of old Dubai, the fish market of Negombo, and the night markets of Taiwan. And many of these markets pay a price to keep going. Touristia makes long travel documentaries about how people live and trade in remarkable places.
