 Discovering the Historic Toqi Sarrafon of Bukhara


Bukhara, a city rich in history and culture, never fails to amaze its visitors. One of its special places is the Toqi Sarrafon, an old trading dome that shows the city's strong trading past.


Recently, I visited this fascinating site with my university friends, our kind teacher Mohichehra Temirovna, and Nima Majidi. The trip to Toqi Sarrafon was more than just a school trip; it was a fun mix of history and learning.


As we walked towards Toqi Sarrafon, its beautiful architecture caught our eyes. Built in the 16th century, this trading dome used to be a busy marketplace for currency exchange and jewelry trading. Walking through its halls, we could imagine the lively scene of traders from different parts of the world, bargaining and exchanging goods.


Nima Majidi and I were very interested in the detailed design of the dome. The brickwork and arches were not only useful but also beautiful, showing the great skill of the builders. We took many photos, trying to capture the place's spirit, but no picture could fully show the beauty and historical feel of Toqi Sarrafon.


Our visit to Toqi Sarrafon was a memorable part of our Bukhara trip. It wasn't just about the history and architecture; it was about the shared experiences and the bonds we strengthened along the way. With Mohichehra Temirovna's guidance, the company of my university friends, and Nima, the trip was an enriching journey that left us with special memories and a deeper appreciation for Bukhara's historical treasures.



Toqi Sarrafon is more than just a beautiful building; it connects us to a past era of trade and cultural exchange. Our visit reminded us of the importance of keeping such historical sites, so future generations can also experience and learn from these incredible places.



Our visit to Toki Sarrafon was very interesting and a great experience. We shared our knowledge with each other. We learned a lot...😊🦋

Discovering Uzbekistan's Ancient Fortress [20.05.2024] The Ark of Bukhara is a famous old fortress in the city of Bukhara, Uzbekistan. This huge, ancient building has a lot of history and has seen many important events. Let me share my experience and what I learned when I visited this incredible place with my university friends. The Ark of Bukhara was built in the 5th century AD. It served as a royal palace where the rulers of Bukhara lived. It also acted as a military fortress, protecting the city from enemies. The high walls and strong gates made it a safe place for the emirs (rulers) of Bukhara. The Ark is known for its impressive architecture. It has tall walls that stretch over a long distance. The main entrance, called the Bukhara Gate, is beautifully decorated with tiles and patterns. Inside the fortress, there are many rooms, courtyards, and buildings, including the Emir’s Mosque and the Throne Room. When I visited the Ark with my university friends, we were amazed by the g

  A Journey Through Craftsmanship During my recent visit to the city of Bukhara, I had the unique opportunity to explore one of its hidden gems: the Blacksmith Museum. This visit was particularly special because I was accompanied by my university friends, our teacher, and a guest tourist who added to the enriching experience. The Blacksmith Museum is in the middle of Bukhara, a city full of history and culture. When we arrived, the sounds of metal being hammered and the sight of beautiful metalwork took us back in time.
