While in Samarkand, you might as well add this on your list. It is the largest market in Samarkand. Right beside the Bibi Khanym Mosque. Definitely a place worth to see.

Great Minaret of the Kalon

Reviewed By fivestarholidays - Chennai (Madras), India

It is an imposing structure in old town Bukhara. It is beautiful but only to enjoy the sight from outside. Entry is not permitted. We also visited the centre to see the Minaret in the night with the streets empty. Beautifully lit is was an amazing sight.

Chor-Minor

Reviewed By rezasattarzadeh - Muscat, Oman

I came across Chor Minor when I was walking in the old neighborhood of Bukhar. The name literally means four minarets and it dates back to the time that Bukhara was a part of the Persian empire. The structure is very interesting and eye-pleasingly beautiful. The four minarets are accessible through a very narrow staircase for a nominal fee. Great photo opportunities on the top.

Moschea Bolo-khauz

Reviewed By nijifrank

Beautiful building, although the inside is much smaller than you'd expect from the outside. Nonetheless this is a gorgeous building and well worth the visit. Take off your shoes and sit inside for a while, and enjoy the architecture. The Imam is friendly and will chat if you know a bit of Russian.

Trading Domes

Reviewed By Redbackspider

The Trading Domes are a wonderful sight, particularly against a blue sky. There are a cluster of domes, with some grander than others. From the inside, the domes are amazing when the light streams through the portals. It was quiet with few tourists during my visit, so it was nice to wander around and have a good look.

Charvak Reservoir

Reviewed By purplekitty2016 - Bengaluru, India

What a beautiful place. Lake Charvak is a popular resort in Tashkent region and thousands of holiday makers from all over Uzbekistan and neighbouring countries visit the reservoir. Villages on the banks of Charvak such as Yusufhona, Burchmulla, Nanay, Chorvoq, Sidjak, Bogustan, and their surroundings offer wide range of hotels, dachas, houses and tapchans to accommodate tourists. Yusufhona is also a popular place among paragliders and provides facilities for this sport. Sadly, paragliding was missing as we could not go to Yusufhona but we did the Jet boat ride which was just awesome ???? The place is surrounded by beautiful mountains ⛰ The drive is beautiful without any twists n turn n on the way u can stop to go up one of the mountains on a chair car n what a view from up above. You should carry ur swimsuit and beachwear. I would highly recommend a day or two stay if u want to unwind and just relax it out. Definitely worth a visit if u r visiting Tashkent
