Bolo Haouz Mosque is a historical mosque in Bukhara, Uzbekistan. Built in 1712, on the opposite side of the citadel of Ark in Registan district, Thin columns made of painted woods were added to the frontal part of the mosque in 1917, additionally supporting the bulged roof of summer prayer room.

5 required times of prayer in the mosque daily by all who attend. This is world wide for the emuslim religion..

The Samanid mausoleum is one of the oldest and only surviving building from the prosperous Samanid dynasty that ruled Central Asia in the 9th and 10th century. But it is special in another context as well. Orthodox Sunni Islam actually explicitly prohibits burials in mausoleums.

Photo when it fell into disrepair and a current photo today.

Interior of the mausoleum.

Local ladies out for the afternoon stroll. Very typical of local dress.

Entrance to the Sitorai Miho Khossa, the summer residence of the last Bukharin emirs, is situated 4 km north of the city. The old palace was built in the second half of the 19th century.

Afrosiyob is the fastest train in Uzbekistan, allowing you to quickly and comfortably travel between Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara. We took this train as we were not allowed to enter into the city by bus due to a Shanghai Conference of 17 Presidents attending. More on this later.
