~13 hours
230$
Samarkand Car & Walking tour

Bukhara is a living museum-city where every stone remembers the footsteps of the Great Silk Road caravans. In just one day, we will perform a “time jump” from a 4th-century fortress to the exquisite 17th-century madrasahs.

🕌 What to Expect:

  • Lyabi-Hauz Ensemble: The cozy heart of the city, centered around a 17th-century pond where merchants and philosophers once rested under ancient mulberry trees.

  • Kukeldash & Nadir Divan-Begi: Visit the largest madrasah in Bukhara and the mysterious Nadir Divan-Begi, famous for its unique facade featuring mythical phoenix birds—a rare sight in Islamic architecture.

  • The Trading Domes: Walk through the living history of 16th-century covered bazaars: Toqi Sarrafon (moneychangers), Toqi Tilpak-Furushon, and Toqi Zargaron (jewelers).

  • Bolo-Hauz Complex: Known as the “Mosque of Forty Columns,” this stunning ensemble features exquisite wood carvings and a peaceful reflection pond.

  • The Ark Fortress: The ancient citadel and residence of the Emirs. From its walls, you will witness breathtaking views of the Old City.

  • Poi-Kalyan Complex: The symbol of the city. The 47-meter-high Kalyan Minaret so impressed Genghis Khan that he ordered it to be spared from destruction.

  • Kosh-Madrasah: Witness the “Double Madrasah” architectural style—comparing the scholarly simplicity of Ulugbek Madrasah with the colorful, luxurious mosaics of Abdulaziz-Khan.

I have always loved traveling along unexplored routes. This time my choice fell on Bukhara. For a long time I doubted which company to cooperate with, but reviews on the Internet convinced me to contact SEE TOUR. And I was not mistaken! From the very beginning of the trip I was surrounded with care and attention.
