【Uzbekistan】The Kalyan Mosque: A Stunning Sight Day and Night

Located almost in the center of Uzbekistan, Bukhara was once a key stop along the Silk Road.

Though it's a small city that can be fully explored in just one night, its atmosphere feels straight out of the Arabian Nights🪔.

Unlike the blue hues of Samarkand, Bukhara offers a desert oasis-like scenery.

One must-visit spot in Bukhara is the Kalyan Mosque🕌.

"Kalyan" means "big" in Tajik, and true to its name, the mosque can accommodate over 10,000 worshippers at once!

Tourists are allowed to enter, but be mindful of the dress code⚠️.

Once inside, you'll be captivated by its stunning architecture👀.

While it's beautiful during the day, the mosque transforms into a magical sight at night with its illumination.

Be sure to visit both during the day and at night to fully enjoy the charm of Bukhara!
