A monumental citadel and one of the strongest starting points for discovering Bukhara. Ark Fortress works especially well in a travel itinerary because it combines a strong sense of place, visual appeal, and historical context. It helps present Bukhara not simply as a list of monuments, but as a layered and memorable city experience. Before publishing live, the current opening hours, pricing, and visitor rules should still be checked locally.

Absolutely stunning. The architecture is breathtaking and the tile work is incredibly detailed. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Samarkand. The light show in the evening was a highlight!

Beautiful place with rich history. The three madrasahs are each unique and impressive. Best to visit early morning to avoid crowds. The minaret climb offers incredible views.

Один из самых красивых архитектурных комплексов, которые я когда-либо видел. Мозаика и плитка великолепны. Обязательно посетите вечернее световое шоу.
