• Samanid Mausoleum - The Ismail Samaniy mausoleum (9th-10th centuries) is the oldest, best-preserved, and most uniquely stunning structure in Bukhara.
• Chasma Ayub Mausoleum - The Chashmai Ayub mausoleum (“Prophet Job”)— according to legend, the prophet Job visited the Zerafshan Valley during a severe drought. Witnessing people dying of thirst, Job struck the ground with his staff, and a spring of sweet water emerged, saving lives. The Chashmai Ayub (“the Spring of Job” in Uzbek) commemorates this event.
• Memorial Complex of Imam Al Bukhari - Abu Abdullah Mohammed ibn Ismail Imam Al Bukhari— after the Koran, the most revered book by Muslims is the collection of Hadith (sayings of the Prophet Mohammed) compiled by Abu Abdullah Mohammed ibn Ismail Imam Al Bukhari. At 16, he made a pilgrimage to Mecca and then dedicated himself to traveling the Islamic world in search of Hadith. His book “Al Jomiy Al Saheeh (Secure book)” took 16 years to compile from over 600,000 traditions gathered from more than 1,000 sheikhs.

• Ark of Bukhara - The Citadel Ark (1st-20th centuries)— the construction of the citadel dates back to the beginning of the 1st millennium BC. Throughout history, the fortress has been destroyed and rebuilt several times, with most of the current structures reconstructed during the 18th-20th centuries.
• Great Minaret of the Kalon - The Poi Kalon complex (“The foot of tall” in Uzbek) from the 12th-16th centuries consists of a mosque, madrassah, and minaret. It was a major center of trade and scholarship along the Silk Road. The beauty of the minaret even amazed Genghis Khan.

Jews have been a significant minority in Bukhara since their forced migration from Merv and Shiraz in the 14th century, with many emigrating to Israel and the US since the 1970s. (Note: The synagogue is often closed, but if open, travelers can visit and see the old Torah).
