#myitinerary I recently went in Uzbekistan with my boyfriend and stayed 8 days. Here following the results of many months of researches, I hope it can be helpful: Day 1 - 2 Samarkand - Amir timur mausoleum - Registan square with its 3 madrasah, i suggest you to visit it after 5-6 PM for the sunset - Bibi khanym mosque - Syoob bazar - Hazrat mosque - Shah-I-zinda mausoleum In my opinion, the most beautiful one it is Shah-I-zinda mausoleum and the Registan is just breathtaking. *The names of the attractions could be a bit different due to differences of translation from the Cyrillic to Roman letters. If you have time you could visit also: - Tomb of Daniel - Ulubek observatory - Paper making factory - Pottery factory Day 3 Tashkent - Subway stations, they were mostly built during the Soviet time and you can feel it. All stops are decorated differently, the oldest ones and the most beautiful ones are on the red and blue lines. My favorite subway stations were: alisher navoi and kosmonatvlar - Eat Plov at Besh Qozon under the Tashkent Television Tower, you won’t regret it! - Chorsu bazar 🚂 🌜night train from Tashkent to Khiva - around 16-17 hours Day 4 Khiva The old city of Khiva is called Ichan Kala and is quite small and walkable. I suggest you to book your stay inside the city or just out of city walls. - Khuna ark - City wall - Tash kauli palace - Pahlavan Mahmoud mausoleum - Islam khodja minaret - Juma mosque FYI there’s one cumulative ticket for almost all museums and palaces/mosques in Ichan Kala. The price is 200k som. We had dinner at Old Terrassa, the food was amazing and the view very good. From the restaurant Terrassa, which is probably 100 meters more central than old Terrassa the view is very great! I recommend to book in advance the table outside. Day 5 - 6 Bukhara - Kalon minaret by night - Chor minor - Ulugh beh & abdulaziz khan madrassa - Ark of Bukhara - Bolo- Hausa mosque I recommend to eat in Old Bukhara restaurant, good food and environment. Day 7 Nurata - desert - swim in the Aydarl lake - stay in a local yurt or guesthouse The last day of activities we decided to go to Nurota and have a tour in desert and see the Ayrdal Lake, because in the whole trip it missed a bit of nature for us. We organized the whole trip with a tour guide, that came to Bukhara to pick us up and drove us in the desert and to lake. The lake is immense and clean. We arrived there in the north part in the afternoon, we swam one hour and head back to Samarkand for our next day flight. #mytravelhacks #localguides #historicallandmarks #trip #uzbekistan #mosquemarvels #samarkand #Tashkent #bukhara #khiva

It is one of Uzbekistan's World Heritage Sites and the best place in Central Asia to get a glimpse of Turkistan.

Enchanting Bukhara: The iconic Kalon Minaret
#2024wish One of the most mesmerizing trips of 2023 unfolded in the ancient city of Bukhara, Uzbekistan. Long harboring the desire to explore this Arabian gem adorned with impressive buildings and intricate mosaics, I found myself captivated by the timeless beauty that Bukhara exuded. At the heart of the city, the iconic Kalon Minaret majestically towered over the surroundings, serving as a testament to the rich history that unfolded within its walls. The minaret's intricate design and historical significance made it a focal point, casting a spell that transported me to a bygone era. Adjacent to the minaret, a bustling bazaar offered a lively atmosphere where one could savor tea in the shade while marveling at the architectural wonders. The vibrant scenes and the aroma of spices in the air created an immersive experience, making the visit to Bukhara truly unforgettable. Though ascending the Kalon Minaret was unfortunately not an option for tourists, the mere sight of this architectural masterpiece was more than compensatory. The city's ambiance, coupled with the minaret's grandeur, evoked a sense of being transported into the pages of the Arabian Nights – a fairy tale come to life. In 2024, my deepest wish is to embark on a journey to Phuket. #2024wish

One Thousand and One Nights - The hometown of Afanti
Bukhara·Bukhara District Bukhara is the birthplace of the legendary One Thousand and One Nights, the hometown of Afanti, and the Bukhara Khanate in ancient Chinese books..... It is said that two-thirds of the stories in the more than 400-year history of the Bukhara Khanate took place in Bukhara. Here are distributed nearly 170 various styles of Islamic buildings since the Middle Ages, known as the 'living fossil of the Silk Road'. The entire ancient city of Bukhara is not very large, and it can basically be visited in one day. The exteriors of these Islamic buildings are very gorgeous. But without exception, the interiors of these buildings are basically shops selling small commodities, and the small commodities are very similar, and it will be a bit boring after a long time. There are various different Islamic buildings in the ancient city, among which the most famous are the Kalon Mosque and the Mir-i-Arab Seminary, and the three-piece set composed of the Kalon Minaret, which is basically the iconic building of Bukhara. In addition, there are more than a hundred large and small mosques in the ancient city, which can also be very stunning when photographed. Here I share with you other buildings in the ancient city of Bukhara.
