Bukhara is an ancient Silk Road city located in the heart of Central Asia. Its historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, filled with madrasahs, caravanserais, bazaars and domed structures that preserve the atmosphere of medieval Orient. Narrow streets, minarets and old trading quarters create a setting where religion, craftsmanship and trade have lived together for centuries.
The tour introduces you to Bukhara’s historical core — the Lyabi-Hauz ensemble. You will see the Kukeldash and Nadir Divan-Begi madrasahs, a khanaka and the monument to Khoja Nasreddin. Then you will explore XVI-century covered bazaars where artisans demonstrate traditional crafts. The final highlight is a puppet workshop at Lyabi-Hauz, where masters hand-carve marionettes and perform a short show. You may choose a puppet as a memorable symbol of Bukhara.
