Bukhara. Just the name evokes images of trade, knowledge, culture, and religion. For as long as historians recorded history, this dry land flanked by rivers welcomed those from far lands to offer something new. From the Persian Empire to the Golden Age of Islam even to the Russian Revolution, Bukhara grew in fame and fortune. Walking around the old streets of Bukhara today is one of the closest you can feel to living in medieval times. The ancient trading domes are still full of textiles and trinkets to dazzle foreigners, madrassas are still operated as places of Islamic study, and the untouched squares are still the focal point of leisure in evenings.
