Located in the heart of Bukhara, this area is a treasure trove of Silk Road history and Islamic architecture. The city’s old-world charm makes it a must-visit for those who love culture, history, and photo-worthy landmarks.
🏰 Ark of Bukhara
This ancient fortress once housed emirs and royalty. Step inside to explore courtyards, museums, and panoramic views over the old city walls.
🌆 Bukhara Tower
Climb the tower for an epic view of the city! It’s the perfect spot to watch the sunset over centuries of history.
🕌 Bolo Hauz Mosque
Known for its stunning wooden columns and peaceful courtyard, this mosque is both beautiful and serene—don’t miss the reflection in the pond outside.
Why I recommend this area:
・One of the best-preserved historic districts in Central Asia
・Perfect for walking, exploring, and soaking in ancient charm
