Bukhara Uzbekistan
Bukhara is one of the few cities in the world, which started from 5th century AD, has been growing and developing on the same site. As a visitor today, the modern city sits next to the ‘Old Town’. We wondered in the beautifully preserved ‘Old town’ among mosques, medieval buildings, madrasahs, caravan-sarais and archeological complexes. The many Bazaars of ancient Bukhara have been preserved along with the skills and techniques of silk carpet knotting, knife forging, intricate needlework, fine ceramics and many other crafts.
