Magical Bukhara

What to expect

Mysterious Old Bukhara
I will show you all the 'visiting cards' of the city. The tour program includes:

• Lyabi-Hauz Ensemble - here you will hear a funny story about Nasreddin Afandi and a legendary story about the vizier and the Jewess.
• Trading domes - built in the 16th century at the intersection of trade routes, they still serve their purpose to this day. Strolling under the ancient vaults, you will see local jewelry and headwear. And you will also find out under which dome you could exchange currency.
• Kosh-Madrasah - this ancient ensemble of paired madrasahs will demonstrate the greatness of two rulers and the uniqueness of two different eras on one square.
• Medieval hamam - I will tell you about the benefits of Eastern spa treatments and local beauty secrets.
• Kalyan Minaret - a symbol of Old Bukhara, which will be remembered not only for its height and beauty, but also for the legend of the great Genghis Khan.
• Ark Citadel - the winter residence of the Bukhara rulers. You will learn how it is connected to a Persian prince who lived in the 4th century BC.
• Chashma Ayub - a mausoleum whose history unites Muslim and Christian faith. I will show you the hidden source of healing water within its walls.
• Samani Mausoleum - a masterpiece of world architecture, combining two eras: Islam and Zoroastrianism.
