 Today was the 8th day of our practice. Our guides were Akramova Feruza, Sevil and Nilufar. And we visited Fayzulla Khojayev museum. House-Museum of Fayzulla Khodjaev, located in the old part of  Bukhara , in Goziyon neighborhood, is the bright example of the architecture of the XIX century. Fayzulla Khodjaev Museum memorializes one of the eminent politicians of Uzbekistan, whose active work fell on the beginning of the XX century. Fayzulla Khodjaev, is, undoubtedly, a key politician figure of Uzbek history of 1920-1930. His fantastic career and tragic final left many ambiguities, covered with discrepant myths of the XX century. Fayzulla Khodjaev, a native of Bukhara, belonged to the richest people of Bukhara khanate. At the end of the XIX – beginning of the XX centuries there was a state of classical Asian monarchy headed by the amirs of Mangyt clan under the protectorate of the Russian Empire. Fayzulla Khodjaev’s father was a merchant- millionaire, who made a fortune on the ...

 Today we visited Park Samoniy and Chashmi Ayub,  and our guides were Marjona and Hurriyat. Hurriyat came earlier than others, but Marjona late😅. However, they explained legend very interestingly. And I liked their presentation. The mausoleum is one of the oldest monuments of Central Asian monumental architecture and an architectural monument of world significance. The memorial structure that has survived to this day was originally part of a larger necropolis, of which nothing else remains (a small cemetery was located in the area of ​​​​the mausoleum only until the end of the 1930s). At present, the mausoleum is the only surviving building of the Samanid era on the territory of the Bukhara oasis[2]. It is also one of the first surviving structures built entirely of burnt bricks. It is located in the central city park of culture and recreation, which at various times bore the names of S. M. Kirov and Samanids.

       Today we visited Sitorai Mokhi Khosa. This time our guides were 3. They are Shakhrixida, Nigina and Vazira.       Sitorai Mokhi-Khosa Palace                             LOCATION Located at a distance of 4 km from Bukhara to the north,  Sitorai Mokhi-Khosa Palace  was the countryside residence of Bukhara emirs just a short time ago.                                   CLIMATE I n comparison with the rest of Bukhara, the climate in the palace is different: it is never hot there on even the hottest days. Such effect was reached thanks to the ancient method of locating the sites for important buildings. They put sheep carcasses at the likely construction sites and opted for the one whose carcass had least decomposed.                     ...

  Today was the 3rd day of our practice. This time Feruza and me take our group to a tour. Today we have studied the history of the great building Ark. There are many legends about Ark. They say that her Siavush grew up, expelled because of the intrigues of the ruler's son's stepmother. Once, while walking around the base, he saw a beautiful girl, whom he fell in love with with all his heart. However, her father, the ruler of Afrosiab, did not want to marry his daughter to Siyavush. His father set conditions for him: Siyavush had to build a palace on the skin of one bull. The task seemed impossible to everyone. But the young man did not lose his head, he cut the skin into the necessary strips, which he connected together, and built a castle inside this whole line. We also saw there many historical objects. For example, Samovar which came from Russia as a gift in XX century and lots of ancient coins, clothing, armor, tools and utensils. At the very top of the castle there is a s...
