Luxury & Small Group Tours to Bukhara, Uzbekistan

Bukhara, in Uzbekistan, is a city steeped in history, often referred to as a "museum city." Dating back over two thousand years, it's one of the best examples of a well-preserved Islamic city in Central Asia. Its historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, brimming with madrasas, mosques, and bazaars that echo the city's storied past. Landmarks like the Ark of Bukhara and the Kalon Minaret showcase architectural grandeur. Bukhara's labyrinthine alleys lead to hidden courtyards and architectural treasures, making every corner a discovery. This city is not just a place, but a journey through the rich tapestry of the Silk Road.

EXPERIENCES

A range of thrilling experiences handpicked by our experts. Don’t see one that’s just right for you? No problem. Our local insiders will create precisely what you want.

Historic Lyabi-Hauz Complex

Lyabi-Hauz, an iconic ensemble in the heart of Bukhara, is more than just a picturesque plaza. Built around a serene pond, it's flanked by madrasahs and a khanqah. Revel in the age-old traditions by sipping tea at chaikhanas (teahouses) under mulberry trees. The stories of old tradesmen and travellers echo in the air, transporting you to an era when Bukhara was a bustling Silk Road hub.

Towering Kalyan Minaret

Dubbed the "Tower of Death," the Kalyan Minaret is a testament to Bukhara's architectural brilliance. Standing at 46 meters, this 12th-century tower offers panoramic views of the city's golden skyline. Ascend the spiral staircase and let the cool breeze greet you, as you gaze upon a labyrinth of blue domes, intricate mosques, and sun-baked terracotta buildings. The tower's history, rife with legends, adds to its enigma.

Sprawling Ark Fortress

Bukhara's Ark Fortress is a colossal citadel with origins dating back to the 5th century AD. Once a royal residence, it's now a captivating open-air museum. Traverse its vast courtyards, marvelling at the array of exhibits, from royal garments to ancient manuscripts. Stories of power struggles, invasions, and grandeur come alive as you navigate through the fortress's maze-like chambers and corridors.

Unravel Mysteries

Chor-Bakr, the "City of the Dead," is a sprawling necropolis reflecting Bukhara's deep spiritual roots. Established over 1,000 years ago, this serene complex is dotted with tombs, mausoleums, and ritual buildings. Walk amidst the ancient gravestones, each telling tales of the city's bygone scholars, theologians, and nobility. The tranquillity of Chor-Bakr offers a poignant experience, juxtaposing life and the afterlife.

Naqshbandi Complex

Dedicated to the revered Sufi leader, Bahauddin Naqshbandi, this complex is a spiritual oasis. Lush gardens surround the mausoleum, where pilgrims from across the globe come to pay homage. Experience the resonating chants of Sufi prayers, as the air fills with profound spirituality. The complex's exquisite mosaics, coupled with its profound cultural significance, make it a soul-stirring destination.

Vibrant Bazaars

Bukhara's bazaars are a riot of colours, scents, and sounds. At Taqi Telpak Furushon, once a cap-maker's market, immerse in the city's trade culture. Navigate through stalls laden with traditional hats, silk carpets, aromatic spices, and ornate jewellery. Engage with local artisans, watching them craft masterpieces, and haggle to grab the best souvenirs. Every transaction here is more than just a purchase; it's a cultural exchange.
