Toqi Sarafon

 Hello my dears!Today I want to share some amazing facts and my fantastic experience of visiting Toqi Sarrofon.


The majestic trade dome Toqi Sarrafon is located at the intersection of several streets that connect the city centre of Bukhara with a medieval suburb. The structure was named after the Sarrafs — the merchants who transformed it.
Traditionally, the exchange of curriencies of differents states was carried out by Indians. This means that the dome can be considered one of the oldest “ currency exchanges” in the east



the modern dome does not gather currency experts, but an unimaginable number of traditional eastern souvenirs are collected here.Today, we can find various national souvenirs, painted  utensils and hats under the famous Dome. Ancient bazaar, like many years ago, is filled with buyers and tourists from different countries. Our trip to there was very amazing,we had a good number of unforgettable memories there and also bought a great number of souvenirs for our family  and friends 




I loved 😍  this experience of visiting the Toqi Sarafon .

Later, caravanserais were built nearby. To the right is a rectangular hall that was used as a mosque and a classroom. The left wing of the building consists of multi-domed roofs and closed houses. The courtyard is surrounded by one-story roomsIt was included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1993 as part of the "Historical Center of Bukhara"[2]. In 1997, on the occasion of the 2500th anniversary of the city of Bukhara, the Govkushon madrasa was renovated among all the monuments in Bukhara. It is also a tourist ser...

 Palace (dacha) of the Emir of Bukhara (Russian: Dvorets emira Bukharskogo) is a two-story oriental palace (dacha) in Zheleznovodsk, Russia. On the initiative of the ruler of Bukhara Emirate, Abdulahad Khan, and with the permission of the Russian Emperor Nicholas II, construction began in 1907 and was completed in 1912 during the reign of Alim Khan. The second largest residence of the emir in Russia (the first palace owned by him is located in Yalta, Crimea). Currently, it is an architectural monument of Federal significance of Russia. Tourists often pass by the palace quickly, as it’s not easy to see from the road. This is a shame because the palace is very attractive, with unusual architecture and an interesting history. It’s considered an architectural monument of Uzbekistan. The palace’s origins lie in the expansion of the Russian Empire to Central Asia in the second half of the 19th century. Towards the end of the century, strong diplomatic relations developed between Russia a...
