In Bukhara and its suburbs are located over 500 architectural monuments from different times and eras. It is necessary to wander through the narrow streets of the “old” town and you have the impression that the “time machine” will move you to the medieval East. Since Bukhara is an oasis in the desert of Kyzyl-Kum, there have always been problems with the drinking water, so the dish Bukhara cuisine is not very diverse.
