Visit to Bukhara
City
City
The center of Bukhara City is full
of historical sites, from the simple to the ornate. Bukhara was built on an
oasis, so that water for this desert city was provided through ponds, the last
remaining of which is Lyabi-Hauz. The pond itself is surrounded by mosques and
madrassas, and as you continue along the tour, you’ll see that there’s a sight
around every corner. Alongside the Lyabi-Hauz Ensemble, the Chor-Minor Madrassa
(with its distinctive four towers) and the Kalyan Minaret (one of the few
structures in Bukhara not destroyed by the Mongols) are some of the most famous
structures in Bukhara. Another important and symbolic stop is the Ark Fortress,
which housed generations of royal families and is now a history museum. For
those who love history, architecture, and art, the one-day Bukhara City Tour is
the best tour for getting to know this welcoming city.
