Situated on The Silk Road, Bukhara is more than two thousand years old.
It is the most complete example of a medieval city in Central Asia, with
an urban fabric that has remained largely intact. The monuments of interest
include the Ismail Samani's famous tomb, a masterpiece of 10th-century
Moslem architecture, and a number of 17th-century medersas.
