Boqiy Buxoro

 On the eighth day of our practice, my group and I visited Boqiy Buxoro. We spent about three hours exploring the site, talking about its history, location, and many interesting details. The monument is vast and remarkable, filled with many hidden stories and captivating mysteries.

Boqiy Buxoro is a modern cultural and ethnographic tourism center being developed on a 32.6-hectare site in the historic center of Bukhara, Uzbekistan. The project is managed by the Bukhara regional government and is scheduled for completion between 2024 and 2026. The total estimated cost of the project is around 470 million US dollars.

Main Components of the Project

Ethnographic Museum: Exhibits showcasing the rich history and culture of the Bukhara region. Historical Neighborhoods: Areas reflecting traditional Bukhara architecture and urban planning styles. Craftsmen Workshops: Studios for traditional arts such as jewelry making, gold embroidery, wood carving, blacksmithing, pottery, carving, and knife making.

Traditional Drainage Systems: Water supply systems characteristic of the Bukhara oasis, including canals and pools. Tea Houses and National Cuisine Restaurants: Places where visitors can taste local dishes.


Construction and Public Opinion

During construction, several existing government buildings, including regional and city administration offices, the prosecutor's office, the compulsory execution bureau, and School No. 2 in Bukhara, are planned to be demolished. Since the project's announcement, some public figures have voiced concerns, emphasizing that construction near the historic core and buffer zone of Bukhara might damage the city’s cultural heritage.

🗺 Location and Purpose

The Boqiy Buxoro ethnographic park is located in the heart of Bukhara. Its main goal is to ease tourist traffic in the old city center and to create modern tourism infrastructure. The project also aims to improve living conditions for residents while preserving Bukhara’s cultural heritage.



To sum up, today’s trip was truly enjoyable and filled with unforgettable moments. Although I had visited this monument before, this time felt more special and engaging because I shared the experience with my wonderful groupmates. Spending time together and having meaningful discussions with them is something I truly cherish.

 On our third day of practice, we went to one of the most historical monuments in Bukhara Sayyid Po Bandikusho Mausoleum also called as Sayyid Poband Mausoleum. First of all, we started our conversation with its history and location. Sayyid Po Bandikusho, also known as Hazrat Said Abulhasan Po Band, is a revered Sufi saint whose mausoleum and mosque are located in Bukhara, Uzbekistan.  His legacy is deeply intertwined with the spiritual and architectural heritage of the region. Hazrat Said Abulhasan Po Band passed away in 395 AH (1004 CE).  He is believed to be a descendant of Imam Hasan ibn Ali, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, tracing his lineage through nine generations.  This noble ancestry, combined with his spiritual influence, has made his shrine a significant site for pilgrims and locals alike.   The title "Po Bandikusho" translates to "Sayyid the Rat-Catcher," a moniker rooted in local lore.  According to tradition, Sayyid Po Bandikusho w...

On the ninth day of our practice, my group and I visited Pridasgir. We spent nearly three hours at the site, learning about its history, location, and a variety of fascinating facts. The monument is expansive and impressive, rich with hidden stories and intriguing secrets. The Piridastgir Mausoleum is a significant historical and spiritual site located in Bukhara, Uzbekistan. It is dedicated to Sheikh Sayyid Muhyiddin Abdul Qadir Jilani, a revered Islamic scholar and Sufi saint born in 1079 in the village of Bashtir, Jilan province, Iran, and passed away in 1166. Nestled in the heart of Bukhara’s rich historical landscape lies the Piridastgir Mausoleum—a serene and spiritually significant site that often escapes the typical tourist itinerary.

 Fourth day of our practice was to Turki Jandi. Turki Jandi was a respected Islamic scholar and religious figure who lived during the early Islamic period in Central Asia. He is particularly revered in Bukhara, Uzbekistan, where his mausoleum and mosque are located. The Turki Jandi Mausoleum is a historical architectural monument located in the old part of Bukhara, on Namozgoh Street. It is considered one of the important landmarks of medieval Islamic science and religious heritage. It is the burial place of Abu Nasr Ahmad ibn Fazl ibn Musa al-Mudhakkir al-Jandi, a renowned scholar and religious figure in Bukhara who died in the early 11th century. Over time, many scholars were buried near this mausoleum. The original structure fell into disrepair by the 16th–17th centuries, and new buildings were constructed on the site. However, most of the original structures have been destroyed or replaced with modern buildings.   Local legends say that people would dismount from their ani...
