Three attractions related to the Silk Road, a one-day tour of the old city of Bukhara

The ancient city of Bukhara is a historical center of Islamic civilization in Central Asia and a historical and cultural city known as the "living fossil of the Silk Road." It also became an important hub connecting ancient Europe and Asia. Therefore, there are three attractions around the center of the ancient city related to the rise of business travel in the past, which are very suitable for visiting together. 👣Route👇🏻 Nadir Divan-Begi Madrasah - Kukeldash Madrasah - Taqi-Telpakfurushon Market Nadir Divan-Begi Madrasah It is not a madrasah itself, but was originally built as a post station for business travelers. But it is said that on the eve of the completion of this building, the Khan of Bukhara got drunk at the celebration banquet and thanked Nadir Divan-Begi for building such a beautiful madrasah in front of everyone, so it was mistaken for a madrasah. Therefore, you can find that compared with normal madrasahs, there are no domed chapels on both sides for worship. Kukeldash Madrasah An important historical building that witnessed the religious and historical changes in Central Asia, it was built in the 16th century and was one of the largest madrasahs in Central Asia at that time. "Kukeldash" means "Buddhist temple." However, as the Arab army occupied Bukhara, many churches and temples were converted into mosques, and this name gradually became associated with Islamic educational institutions. Taqi-Telpakfurushon Market Everyone knows that Bukhara is located on the main road of the Silk Road, so commerce is relatively developed. "Taqi" means a domed mall built at the intersection of the central crossroads. It has now become one of the tourist attractions. Of course, you can also visit the things sold here and take them home as souvenirs. 💰Tickets: All free🆓 ❤️Tips: Bukhara is relatively dry, so be sure to pay attention to sun protection at noon.
