The Desert Bazaar is a location in Dragon Quest IV. As a nomadic market, it can be found only in Chapter 2, when Alena, Borya and Kiryl pass through. After that, it moves on to parts unknown though one merchant takes residency at the inn of Aubout du Monde as of Chapter 5-6.
In the remakes, the bazaar site is used for the Pioneer Town in Chapter 5.

The bazaar itself is just a marketplace, with the main plot point being a Zamoksvan soldier telling Alena that Tsar Stepan has fallen ill. The regular attendees of the bazaar will mention rumors of the Birdsong nectar, which Alena learns will cure her father's ailment.
