Two days to tour Bukhara from Tashkent by train.
Elder holy Bukhara - an oriental dream lost somewhere in the sands. One of the 8 holy Muslim cities, announced by the Prophet himself, Bukhara remains one of the most beautiful places in Uzbekistan.
Tours to Bukhara are usually walking. You will spend around 5 hours enjoying the city, sights, and cuisine. Bukhara is also very safe, kindhearted, and warm. Many famous people were born/lived/buried there, and their mausoleums are in our tour checkpoints.
