About Bukhara
Bukhara preserved three millennia of Islamic architecture—40 mosques, 350 caravanserais, and the Ark fortress dominate a UNESCO old city. The Poi-Kalyan complex of mosque and minaret rises above the bazaar; madrassas frame courtyards. Bukhara was a Silk Road power; centuries of caravan traffic funded mosques, schools, and bazaars still intact and in use.
