About Bukhara
Bukhara is an ancient Silk Road city in Uzbekistan, with a World Heritage old town of domed bazaars, madrasas, minarets and a walled fortress.
Bukhara lies in the desert of central Uzbekistan and was a major city of Central Asia on the Silk Road for centuries. Its old town, a World Heritage Site, is a maze of lanes with brick domes, mosques and madrasas. The Kalyan Minaret, a brick tower of 47 metres built in 1127, rises beside the Kalyan Mosque and the Mir-i-Arab Madrasa, and the Ark, a walled fortress on a mound, was home to the city's rulers.
