Evening Walk Of The Magical Old Bukhara

Step into the heart of ancient Bukhara, a living museum and UNESCO World Heritage Site that spans over 200 hectares of history, legends, and architectural beauty. Join me on a walking tour that reveals the city’s timeless charm, from its iconic blue domes to the stories that shaped all of Central Asia.

We’ll start at Lyabi-Khauz Square, the social heart of Bukhara, and explore the Magoki-Attori Mosque, built over an ancient Zoroastrian temple. Wander through the bustling Trading Domes of Toki-Zargaron, Toki-Sarrafon, and Toki-Tilpak-Furushon, once home to merchants from across the Silk Road.

Marvel at the Poi-Kalyan complex and the grand Kosh-Madrasah ensemble, home to Ulugbek’s and Abdulaziz Khan’s madrasahs. Discover the powerful Ark Citadel, the mysterious Chashma-Ayub Mausoleum, and the elegant Bolo-Khauz Mosque reflected in its pond.

We’ll finish at the Samanid Mausoleum, a masterpiece of early Islamic architecture. By the end, you’ll have not only discovered Bukhara, but also glimpsed the soul of Central Asia itself.
