What To Expect
Palace of Moon-like Stars (Sitorai-Mokhi-Khosa)
Situated near Bukhara, the Sitorai Mokhi-Khosa Palace was once the country residence of the last Emir of Bukhara, Seyid Alim-khan. Constructed in 1918, the well-preserved building now houses a museum of arts and crafts. Visitors are drawn not only to the museum's collection but also to the palace's exquisite interior design.
Located in a suburb of Bukhara, the Bahauddin Naqshbandi Memorial Complex comprises a mausoleum, two mosques, a minaret, and a madrasa. Naqshbandi, a renowned 14th-century theologian, founded the Naqshbandiya Sufi order and served as the spiritual guide to Tamerlane (Amir Timur). He completed the pilgrimage to Mecca 32 times. Muslims regard this site as the Mecca of Central Asia, attracting visitors from the CIS countries and other nations worldwide. It is believed that walking from Bukhara to the Naqshbandi mausoleum three times holds the same merit as completing the hajj.

Must Try Trip in Bukhara

5.00We enjoyed this trip immensely. Special thanks to our guide, Gayrat — exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable. We learnt a great deal about 19th–20th century Bukharian history, much of which was completely new to us. The historic houses we visited were stunning, and we took countless photos. Although our tour lasted only half a day due to other commitments from 15:00, Gayrat kindly drove us to our next destination and helped us find lunch. His warmth, hospitality and expertise make this tour something we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Bukhara, especially those who wish to understand the city’s history and culture while enjoying true Bukharian hospitality.
