Amir Chakhmaq Complex

Acerca de

Datos rápidos: The 19th-century Shiite monument is recognizable by its single massive wall dotted with regular recesses, rising three stories high. The bazaar belonging to it winds for 400 meters, and the locals primarily know the square as the setting for daily shopping and tea house conversations.

Destacados: The 567 regular niches of the facade are bathed in orange light in the evenings, as if a giant illuminated honeycomb were rising from the edge of the desert. The lone water reservoir standing in the middle of the square also fades into the obscurity of the past, though during hot summers, passersby used to cool their melons here with a bucket pulled up from the depths.

Consejos de expertos

• Parim pildistamiskoht pole väljaku keskel, vaid vastas asuval trepiastmete real, kust saab kogu fassaadi kaadrisse.
• Pärast kella 20 on väljak peaaegu tühi, sel ajal loovad meeleolu vaid valgustatud nišid ja mõned teemaja külastajad.
• Osta klaas hoppe't (piparmündijogurtijook) ühelt basaari müüjalt, see on kohalike lemmikjahutaja.
• Basaarist avanevates väikestes hoovides peituvad vanade karavaniserajide jäänused, 90% turistidest jätavad need vahele.
