Sitorai Mohi Khosa palace - Summer Residence of last Bukharian Emir
The Sitorai Mokhi-Khosa Palace, located just outside Bukhara, served as the private retreat for Sayyid Olimkhan, the last Emir of Bukhara. Built in 1915, it's now a museum showcasing arts and crafts, and its beautiful architecture is a major attraction.
Bahouddin Naqshband Complex
In Bukhara's outskirts lies the Bahauddin Naqshbandi Memorial Complex, a sacred site featuring a mausoleum, two mosques, a minaret, and a madrasa. This complex honors Naqshbandi, a 14th-century theologian and founder of the Naqshbandiya Sufi order, and is considered a spiritual center, drawing pilgrims from across the globe
Chor Bakr complex
Chor-Bakr, the largest necropolis in Central Asia, is located just outside Bukhara. This 16th-century burial site, often referred to as a 'city of the dead,' holds the remains of many important people, with Abu Bakr Saad, a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, among the earliest interred.

“A unique experience with Gayrat in Bukhara”
I would like to express my grattitude for the incredible experience we - my wife and myself - had with Gayrat during our trip to Bukhara. We are used to get our private guides in this platform and we know how important it is for all of us to have the scoring of the guides to make our decisions. With regards to Gayrat, I am providing a 5-star review because he was really amazing. His professionalism, well planned and better executed tours, his kindness - always ready to listen to any suggestions and react with flexibility to accommodate for our interests - and the genuine attitude transmitted during the couple of days we spent with him were just superb. He really made our trip a unique one and we will keel in our memories the fascinating visit we enjoyed to Bukhara with the help of Gayrat. Thanks Gayrat and we wish you and your family all the best for the future.

Our two-day trip with you both was wonderful. Thank you very much especially for visiting my village and for your warm thoughts about the positive changes and updates here! My family members and our school team were also very happy with your visit. Thank you!

“A First In Class Professional Guide”
Gayrat was incredibly adaptible and flexible as we pushed our tour to start late due to our train arriving late at night. With the limited time he had he showed us everything we wanted to see and truly covered Bukhara. He has an ability to inform that is both educational and interesting with a focus on what matters to his tour attendees. I really enjoyed our time with him and would have loved to spend more days exploring other areas. With Gayrat you not only get a tour guide, but also a historian, a philosopher, and a man of culture. I'd highly recommend you book a tour!
