Itinerary
Situated near Bukhara, the Sitorai Mokhi-Khosa Palace was once the country residence of the last Emir of Bukhara, Seyid Alim-khan.

Located in a suburb of Bukhara, the Bahauddin Naqshbandi Memorial Complex comprises a mausoleum, two mosques, a minaret, and a madrasa. Naqshbandi, a renowned 14th-century theologian, founded the Naqshbandiya Sufi order and served as the spiritual guide to Tamerlane (Amir Timur). He completed the pilgrimage to Mecca 32 times. Muslims regard this site as the Mecca of Central Asia, attracting visitors from the CIS countries and other nations worldwide. It is believed that walking from Bukhara to the Naqshbandi mausoleum three times holds the same merit as completing the hajj.
