This place is far more than just a brief stop while exploring the old town of Bukhara; it's a portal to a bygone era that offers a celestial atmosphere that both uplifts the spirit and provides a cool respite under the intense Central Asian summer sun.

Very friendly and carring service. I loved it and found great...
