Poi Kalyan Mosque
The Kalyan Minaret is the last surviving fragment of the Kara-khanid era mosque built by Mohammad Arslan Khan in 1127, predating the Mongol conquests. Standing tall at 45.6 meters, this unlikely survivor of the city's early days—which so astonished Genghis Khan that he refused to order its destruction—continues to serve as the centerpiece of the city at the Po-i-Kalyan square.
Ark of Bukhara
The Ark, a royal town-within-a-town, is Bukhara’s oldest structure, it was home to the rulers of Bukhara for over a millennium. The Ark is as old as Bukhara itself. The founding of the original fortress is blurred in antiquity, but it was certainly the focus around which developed the medieval town.
Bolo Hauz Mosque
The Bolo Hauz Mosque stands opposite the Ark Fortress in a Kosh arrangement with the resistance between them. Its name means "above the pool", referring to the octagonal hauz, or artificial pond, located directly in front of it. Begun in 1712, early in the reign of Abu'l-Faiz Khan (r. 1711-47), it is one of the last and finest of Bukhara's major buildings prior to the modern era.
Maghak-i 'Attari Mosque
Oldest Mosque in Central Asia that once served as a Buddas and Zoroastrian temple, amazing brickwork architecture
Trading Domes
colorful old bazar with oriental flair dotted with artisans' workshops
Lyab-i-Hauz
Built in the 16th - 17th centuries, Lyab-i Hauz Ensemble is still one of the major Bukhara squares. Lyab-i Hauz Ensemble is probably the most popular Bukhara tourist attraction, often used as a rest stop, thanks to its grandness, tranquility and old age. Lyab-i Hauz is located in the southeast shakhristan near the main Bukhara trade street.

Registan
Registan became the city square when life in Afrosiab stopped. Since that time Registan was reconstructed several times. Today it is surrounded by the three medreses Ulugbek, Sherdor and Tillokori.
Gur Emir Mausoleum
Gur Emir Mausoleum – As a conqueror there are few that are Tamerlane’s equal, both in territory and legacy left. Today one can visit his tomb in the beautifully reconstructed Gur-Emir Mausoleum (1404-1405, 15-17 centuries) and reflect on his life while looking at the largest piece of jade (greenstone) in the world.
Shah-i-Zinda
Shakhi-Zinda Ensemble – (IX) situated on southeastern mound of Afrosiab. This architectural complex consists of 44 tombs in more than 20 mausoleums. The greatest significance of Shah E Zinda is that he was the First cousin of the Prophet Muhammad and resembles the Prophet the most.
Bibi Khanym Mosque
Bibi-Khanym Mosque – named after the wife of Temur and built between 1399-1404 – is one of best-known architectural attractions of Central Asia. The Mosque was erected on Timur's order after his combat of Delhi. The Minaret of the Mosque was supposed to be the tallest.
Siab Bazaar
Siab Bazaar in Samarkand is still as impressive as it was many years ago. Its abundant produce and handicrafts is evidence of the natural wealth of Uzbekistan and its people’s talents and diligence.
Ulugh Beg Observatory
Ulugbek's Observatory – observatory of Timur's grandson. Only the foundations remain but it is truly extraordinary. Ulugbek was an astronomer, scientist and architect. His scientific and astronomical discoveries greatly advanced knowledge in these fields. The only thing that was preserved is a part of huge sextant – major astronomic instrument, the lowest part of which was in a deep trench (11km).

2.00The hotel had asked for a twin room, but it had been arranged for a double room, so it was quite stressful to change it on the day. I paid for entry to every stop in Bukhara, a recognition included in the tour.
Great trip for history and culture lover

5.00The trip is only 3 days but covers the majority of Bukhara and Samarkand. Hotel isn’t luxurious but very decent for the price paid, staff very hospitable. Transit drivers are on time. A few highlights: Due to the early summer heat, the travel agency was flexible to arrange a early start at 730am instead of 9am to enjoy many sites at a lower temperature; The tour guide in Bukhara is amazing, her name is Malika and is one of the best tour guides I ever meet. Knowledgeable and patient; Amir the tour operator found a last minute express train back to Tashkent. The train is almost always sold out so appreciate the effort. Overall this is a great trip!

5.00Booked Uzbekistan 3 day private tour of Tashkent-Bukhara-Samarkand Bullet Train. My wife and I totally enjoyed this tour. The Bukhara leg of the tour was by a 30 year old guide, Bekhruz, who has about 10 years experience. He is knowledgeable and gave us a very good overview of the historical and cultural of Bukhara. The Samarkand leg was by a young guide, 25 years old, who has about 3 years in this industry. However, he is also very knowledgeable about the history and religious context of Samarkand. In short, central Asia has a rich history and mix of different ethnic groups. It has gone through many invasions by different empires such as Mongolian and Islamic conquest. It was also incorporated into Russian empire and finally become independent. Central Asia and in particular, Uzbekistan being an important node of the Silk Route has very interesting cultural, historical and political which continues to shape the people and its culture. A worthwhile trip for my family.
Simply perfect! Recommend it!!

5.00Simply perfect!! Amir, the guy that organised everything, was great. He immediately had to re-adjust the schedule of the tour after the delay of my arrival flight in Tashkent, and it was perfect!! Guides in all the tour, were very prepared and passionate about their job and history of their amazing country! The rest was done by the beauty of Uzbekistan!! No other words needed, just recommend it!!!
