About
A walk through this quarter near the Registan tells the story of Samarkand’s Bukharan Jewish community through its old lanes and traditional houses. Go in the daytime, ideally with a local guide: the route is not marked anywhere, and people live in these houses — respect their privacy and do not enter courtyards uninvited. The walk takes 45–90 minutes.
