When hearing the phrase "things to do in Bukhara, Uzbekistan," most travelers think of the 47-meter minaret of the Po-i-Kalyan Complex, the 20-hectare fortress of the Ark of Bukhara, and the 9th-century Samanid Mausoleum. Built in 795, the mausoleum is the oldest Islamic brick tomb in Central Asia. It is worth spending at least two days in the city.
1. Po-i-Kalyan Complex
Here you can see one of Central Asia's oldest minarets, preserved in its original form. Walk through the courtyard covered in cobalt blue tiles and feel the weight of centuries around you.
Raske fakta: Djengis Khan fant den 46 meter høye minareten så imponerende at han sparte den fra ødeleggelse. Komplekset som består av tre bygninger har preget Bukharas bybilde i mer enn 800 år.
Høydepunkter: Fra toppen av minareten kunne muezzinens stemme høres opptil 10 kilometer unna i ørkenstillheten. Tårnets teglmønster viser frem 14 forskjellige geometriske dekorasjoner, som hver for seg åpenbarer seg fra forskjellige vinkler.
2. Ark of Bukhara
Here you can feel what it was like to live in the court of a Central Asian emir. Between the yellow brick walls, the past comes alive with every step.
Raske fakta: The walls of the fortress, spanning 3 hectares, reach 20 meters in height. The royal residence housed hundreds of rooms, from the treasury to the torture chamber.
Høydepunkter: The chains of prisoners once rattled beneath the massive ramp leading to the entrance, where they were cast under the hooves of horses parading above their heads. The throne room ceiling was covered with gold plates, and the carpets came from every corner of the empire.
3. Bolo Haouz Mosque
Where a forest of wooden columns meets the reflecting water mirror: here the Emir of Bukhara once prayed. Sit by the pond and watch as the sunset paints the carved pillars in gold.
Raske fakta: Tjue vakkert utskårne trestolper bærer takkonstruksjonen til verandaen foran moskeen, hver dekorert med unike motiver. Dammen foran, hauz, har i århundrer avkjølt luften og reflektert moskeens imponerende fasade.
Høydepunkter: Det var stedet for emirenes fredagsbønner, hvor herskerne og deres følge satt mellom de enorme trestolpene. Verandataket er dekket av omhyggelig utformede geometriske mønstre og livlige farger, som generasjoner av sentralasiatiske håndverkere har perfeksjonert.
4. Chor Minor
The secret of the four towers is that none are alike, and each tells a different story. Walk through the quiet courtyard, browse the artisan wares, and discover the hidden symbols.
Raske fakta: Each of its four blue-domed towers received a different decoration; no two are alike. The building was actually the entrance gate of a former madrasa, while the school building itself disappeared long ago.
Høydepunkter: If you look closely at the towers, you will notice that each was made with different geometric patterns and tile painting, as if the builder had employed four different craftsmen. According to locals, each tower symbolizes a religion of one of the four cardinal directions, although there is no written evidence of this.
5. Magok-i-Attari Mosque
Here you can grasp the most fascinating cross-section of Bukhara's religious stratification. Touching the sunken brick walls, the Sogdian, Zoroastrian, Jewish, and Muslim eras can all be felt at once under your palm.
Raske fakta: The 12th-century building was once a Zoroastrian temple, then a synagogue, before becoming a mosque. Its name means "the mosque of the pit," as its entrance lies more than 4 meters below today's street level.
Høydepunkter: The brickwork pattern decorating the southwestern facade of the mosque is so meticulously crafted that not a single layer of mortar is visible between the 800-year-old clay bricks. Pagan fertility symbols and a huge 4-meter bovine skeleton unearthed in the 10-meter-deep excavation below the entrance testify to the building's thousands of years of sacred history.
6. Ulugbek Madrasah
A madrasa where, in the 15th century, the ruler who built it taught astronomy. The geometric play of the blue tiles and the quietly winding pathways transport you to the realm of medieval knowledge.
Raske fakta: Ulugbek, the famous astronomer-ruler, had this madrasa built in 1417, making it one of the most prominent scientific centers of medieval Central Asia. The star patterns decorating the entrance arch precisely reflect the builder's passion for astronomy, and standing under the 12-meter-high arch of the gate, one can almost feel a time travel to the golden age of the Timurid Empire.
Høydepunkter: An inscription once adorned the facade of the madrasa, now illegible, proclaiming: "The pursuit of knowledge is the duty of every Muslim man and woman." Ulugbek personally taught astronomy and mathematics here, which was almost unprecedented for a ruler of the era.

Tradisjonelle søte retter
Bukhara Halva
Bukhara halva is a dense, crumbly confection made from sesame seeds, sugar syrup, and nuts. Artisans still prepare it using traditional copper cauldrons, stirring for hours to achieve its signature grainy texture.
Sumalak
Sumalak is a sweet, thick wheat pudding made from germinated wheat that is cooked continuously for over 24 hours. It is traditionally prepared during the spring equinox (Nowruz) with women singing songs as they take turns stirring the large pot.
Nisholda
Nisholda is a fluffy, marshmallow-like sweet made from egg whites, sugar, and soaproot extract. It is a specialty of Bukhara and Samarkand, often served during winter months as it is believed to provide warmth and energy.
Tradisjonelle salte retter
Bukhara Plov (Palov)
Bukhara-style plov differs from other Uzbek plovs by using chickpeas, raisins, and sometimes quince, giving it a subtly sweet and savory balance. It is traditionally cooked in a kazan (cast iron cauldron) over an open flame and served on large communal plates called lagan.
Shashlik
Bukhara's shashlik features skewered chunks of marinated lamb or beef grilled over hot coals. The meat is often marinated with onions, vinegar, and spices for hours, and the best versions are cooked on skewers made from vineyard branches which add a subtle smoky flavor.
Samsa Bukharski
Bukhara-style samsa is a baked pastry filled with spiced lamb, fat-tail mutton, and onions, wrapped in flaky, layered dough. Unlike other versions, Bukharan samsa is traditionally baked in a tandoor oven (tanur), giving it a distinctive crispy crust and smoky aroma.
Tradisjonelle drikker
Ko'k Choy (Green Tea)
Green tea is the heart of Bukharan hospitality, served throughout the day in small bowls called piyola. Guests are always offered tea first, and the host pours a small amount back into the pot before serving to ensure the tea is perfectly mixed.
Ayran (Kefir)
Ayran is a refreshing, tangy yogurt-based drink made by diluting yogurt with cold water and a pinch of salt. In Bukhara's hot climate, it is a beloved thirst-quencher and is often served alongside plov to aid digestion.
Sharbat (Fruit Syrup Drink)
Bukhara's sharbat is a sweet, concentrated fruit syrup made from local fruits like pomegranates, mulberries, or apricots, diluted with cold water. This centuries-old beverage was once served to travelers along the Silk Road as a revitalizing tonic in the desert heat.

Lyabi Hauz at night with the lights reflecting on the water was magical. Honestly my favorite spot in all of Uzbekistan.
Honestly a bit underwhelmed. Maybe overhyped in travel blogs. Cool architecture but felt like a really touristy open air mall.
The Silk Road vibes are real here. Every corner looks like a movie set. My favorite city in Central Asia so far.
Skip the restaurants right on Lyabi Hauz. Walk one block back and pay half price for the same food. Trust me.
For the Ark Fortress go right when it opens at 9am. Empty streets, cool air, and you beat the tour groups by an hour.
