🏛️ Palace of the Moon and Stars – Sitorai Mokhi-Khosa, Bukhara, Uzbekistan

#postandearn
📍 Sitorai Mokhi-Khosa Palace, Kogon Road, 4 km north of central Bukhara, Uzbekistan

Sitorai Mokhi-Khosa, meaning Palace of the Moon and Stars, is a dazzling blend of East and West — the former summer residence of the last emirs of Bukhara. Built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the palace fuses Russian Imperial flair with traditional Bukharan ornamentation, resulting in richly decorated halls, mirrored ceilings, and elegant courtyards shaded by pines.

Wander through rooms lined with silk, porcelain, and chandeliers, and you’ll feel the fading glamour of a lost royal world. Outside, serene gardens and fountains hint at how the emirs once escaped the desert heat in this oasis of opulence.

🧭 Tips for Visitors:
• Don’t miss the White Hall with its glittering stucco and mirrorwork
• Great for architecture and design lovers
• Visit in early morning or late afternoon for cooler temperatures and softer light
• Taxis from Bukhara’s center are inexpensive and fast — or rent a bike for a scenic ride
• Museum signage is minimal — a guide adds depth to the experience
