Tour Itinerary:

Meet your guide at the scheduled time to begin exploring Bukhara’s old town with the following stops.

1) Lyabi-Hauz Square – The heart of historic Bukhara, centered around a centuries-old pond and surrounded by madrasahs, teahouses, and lively local atmosphere.

2) Nodir Devonbegi Khanakah- A 17th-century Sufi lodge in the heart of Bukhara, known for its elegant architecture, peaceful courtyard, and rich spiritual heritage.

3) Sayfuddin Caravansarai- A historic Silk Road caravanserai where merchants and travelers once rested, showcasing Bukhara's rich trading heritage and traditional architecture.

4) Toki Sarrafon – an old trading dome once famous for money changers.

5) Magoki-Attori Mosque – one of Bukhara’s oldest mosques, now home to the Carpet Museum.

6) Toki Telpakfurushon – the largest covered bazaar, once a hub for hat and skullcap sellers.

7) Abdullakhan Tim – an elegant domed bazaar built for silk trading.

8) Abdulazizkhan Madrasah – richly decorated with colorful mosaics and carved details.

9) Ulugbek Madrasah – one of the city’s oldest Islamic schools, built by the great astronomer.

10) Toki Zargaron – trading dome where jewelers once worked and sold their crafts.

11) Kalyan Minaret – the iconic 12th-century tower, symbol of Bukhara.

12) Kalyan Mosque – a massive Friday mosque with space for 10,000 worshippers.

13) Miri Arab Madrasah – an active Islamic school opposite the mosque.

14) Passing by the Ark Fortress– the ancient citadel of Bukhara’s rulers. Nowadays is being used as a Bukhara State Museum. The Ark Fortress is shown only from the outside, since visiting its museum sections would add an extra 1–1.5 hours.

15) Bolo-Hauz Mosque – famous for its wooden pillars reflected in the pool.

Some monuments might be under restoration. Don’t worry – our guides will suggest alternative stops so you won’t miss out.
