What To Expect
Bakhautdin Naqsband Mausoleum
Bahoutdin Architectural Complex is a complex in Bukhara, Uzbekistan. Shaykh Baha-ud-Din or Bohoutdin was the founder of the Naqshbandi order, and was considered the spiritual patron of Bukhara governors; he died in 1389. That is why his necropolis, which was subsequently erected at his tomb, always was and remains the most esteemed in Uzbekistan and its fame has reached other Islamic countries. Ancient toponymy of this settlement is known under the name Kasri Arifon.
Palace of Moon-like Stars (Sitorai-Mokhi-Khosa)
Nasrullah Khan or Emirs Summer Palace was a mad and cruel khan, but he loved his wife dearly. When she died in childbirth, he named the palace after her. He likened her beauty to the moon, her name was Sitorabony. Thus it became Sitora-i Mokhi Khosa Saroy, the palace of a star like the moon.

Amazing journey i have ever had

5.00I had an unforgettable day exploring the Bukhara countryside. The tour was well-organized from start to finish, with comfortable transport and a knowledgeable guide who shared fascinating stories about the history and culture of the region. One of the highlights was visiting the small villages, where we got a genuine sense of local life. The traditional lunch was absolutely delicious — homemade, fresh, and served in a warm, welcoming setting. It really felt like being a guest rather than a tourist. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the authentic side of Uzbekistan beyond the city walls of Bukhara.
Mr. Sheki, our guide, understands that those of us who don't speak English well...

4.00Our guide, Sheki, spoke slowly in English that was easy for us to understand, as we were not good at English. It was a laid-back car and the driver was kind. I was an English speaking guide, so if I had been told in advance where I was going, I would have done some research beforehand to gain a better understanding.
Fabulous tour around Bukhara

5.00Great 2/3 day tour of Bukhara. Such truly amazing sights and old madrasahs, mosque and markets. Malika really knew the sights and could answer any questions we had. Truly appreciate this tour and all her hard work helping us learn as much as we could about this beautiful old city and helping us find what we wanted at the market! Great day! Thank you!
