A 10-day trip to Bukhara

The layered clay heart of the Silk Road

Where Samarkand stuns with colossal standalone monuments, Bukhara works as an unbroken medieval ecosystem. Spared the wide Soviet boulevards that carved up Tashkent, Bukhara's Old Town preserves domed trading bazaars, mud-brick residential alleys, and 1,000-year-old carved brickwork that survived Genghis Khan. It is a slow, textured city best navigated on foot over multiple days.
