Bukhara Guide 2026
Bukhara is a city in south-western Uzbekistan on the Silk Road, with a history of more than two thousand years. Its old town is full of madrasas, minarets and market domes, and most of the buildings are close enough to visit on foot.
What to see in Bukhara
- The Kalyan Minaret: the brick minaret that shapes the skyline of the old town.
- The Ark Fortress: the fortified former seat of government.
- Lyabi Hauz: a square around a pool, with tea houses and trees.
- The market domes: domed bazaars at old trade crossings, now selling crafts.
When to go
July and August average a high of 40 and 37 degrees, and there is almost no rain from June to September. January ranges from 8 to minus 4 degrees. April (27/12), May (32/18) and October (23/8) are the most comfortable months.
Getting there from Turkey
Bukhara is part of MBD's Uzbekistan Pearl of the Silk Road Tour. The tour runs 5 nights from Istanbul with Turkish Airlines. The Central Asia Silk Road tours run 10 to 13 nights, and some of them include a day moving from Bukhara to Samarkand. Dates and prices are on the tour page.
Who it suits
Travellers who want to see history, architecture and the Silk Road story on the spot. Midday sightseeing in high summer is hard, and it is not a beach destination.
