Itinerary

1. Morning — the old town

   Lyabi-Hauz, the trading domes, the madrasas and Po-i-Kalyan, ending at the Ark.

2. Bolo Hauz and Samanid park

   The emirs' Friday mosque with its slender wooden columns, then the Samanid mausoleum — one of the oldest surviving monuments of Islamic architecture in Central Asia.

3. Lunch break

   Your guide recommends a place for lunch — plov, or Bukhara's own specialities.

4. Afternoon — crafts and Chor Minor

   A workshop visit chosen around your interests (embroidery, metalwork, miniatures or carpets), then Chor Minor, the four-towered gatehouse hidden in a residential street.

5. Evening light

   Finish back at Po-i-Kalyan or Lyabi-Hauz as the old town lights up.
