The Sitorai Mokhi Khosa — Where Russian Modernity Clashes with Uzbek Antiquity

This attraction wasn't originally on our itinerary.
My friend had chosen Bolo Hauz when they took a taxi, and I don't know how they ended up here.
We found it wasn't our destination, but since we were already there, we decided to go explore.
We stumbled upon a surprising attraction!
This summer palace of the last emir blends Russian and Central Asian styles.
The stained glass and mirrored decorations are exquisite, and the refreshing yellow-green hue makes it completely different from other mosques in Bukhara.
The palace displays Chinese porcelain and royal attire.
Although it's a bit far (a 10-minute taxi ride from the old town),
if you have time, I recommend a visit.
It's quiet and less crowded, and the photos are fantastic!
I highly recommend it to anyone tired of the same old mosques.
