  Hi,dears!!! Here I shall share my impressions about Bakhouddin Nakshbandi On the  4th of June we visited to one of the historical places in Bukhara which is called the pilgrimage of Bakhouddin Nakshbandi.  The Memorial Complex of Khoja Bakhouddin Nakshbandi is one of the most important Muslim shrines.

The  Ark of Bukhara  is a massive fortress  located in the city of Bukhara , Uzbekistan , that was initially built and occupied around the 5th century AD. In addition to being a military structure, the Ark encompassed what was essentially a town that, during much of the fortress's history, was inhabited by the various royal courts that held sway over the region surrounding Bukhara. The Ark was used as a fortress until it fell to Russia in 1921 . Currently, the Ark is a tourist attraction and houses museums covering its history.  The museums and other restored areas include Archaeological museum, Throne room, Reception and Coronation court, local history museum and the Court mosque.
