Weekend in Bukhara – Where Every Street Breathes History 🌙✨

#hellohalloween

Bukhara isn’t just a city — it’s a living museum of Persian-Islamic architecture, caravanserais, turquoise domes, and ancient legends. If Khiva feels like a fairy tale, Bukhara feels like poetry carved in stone.

📍 Must-See Highlights:

Kalon Minaret & Mosque – The iconic 12th-century tower that even Genghis Khan refused to destroy. Best viewed at sunset when the whole square glows golden.

Po-i-Kalyan Ensemble – An architectural masterpiece — stand in the middle and turn slowly. Every angle is breathtaking.

Ark Fortress – Once home to Bukhara’s emirs. Massive walls, royal chambers, and rooftop views!

Lyabi-Hauz Square – The soul of the city — shaded by ancient mulberry trees, perfect for chai and people-watching.

Trade Domes (Toki Bazars) – Wander through the jewelry bazar, carpet bazar, and silk bazar like a true Silk Road merchant.

Chor Minor – A quirky little madrasa with four mismatched towers — like something out of a fairy-tale illustration.
