Bukhara-pictures




Some images of Bukhara--at the Ark (the old citadel of the city, dating to the 5th century, which was later used as a residence by the Emirs of Bukhara), the throne of the last Emir of Bukhara (who was deposed in the early 20th century), and a view of the ancient city. These pictures don't even begin to show all of the many, many madrassas throughout the city. Bukhara is an absolutely beautiful place, and the people we met were incredibly friendly. Definitely someplace I want to return to!
