Bukhara, located in the heart of Uzbekistan’s desert, is a place where history feels alive. For centuries, the city was a vital hub along the Silk Road—traders, pilgrims, and scholars all left their mark here. Today, its intricate mosaics, ancient madrasas, and bustling bazaars tell the story of that rich past. But Bukhara is more than just an open-air museum: it’s a vibrant city shaped by the warmth of its people. Their faces, their daily lives, and their stories bring soul and presence to this historic setting.
