hi my name is Anna Markarova welcome to Bukhara we got to buy our train ticket on time and the prices
went high so we decided to take a bus to bukhara but then apparently there are no buses today
but there is a bus station and from there all the taxis that go to buhari so we decided to hitchhike
and we found an amazing couch surfing a guy who he's in tashkent today but he has a hotel in
bukhara and he had a couch surface it's for free so we head in there and hopefully we can also
hitchhike from summer con to buhari today so we were hitchhiking like this and there was a man who
gave us and explained that here we don't hitchhike like this we do this behind me there is a bus
it goes to bukhara but it also full i just found this bus it goes to navoy which is halfway to
bukhara from samarkand and the bus doesn't have a place to sit so now people will enter and we will
stand for one hour until people start leaving and then we can sit the rest of the way
to bukhara it's going to be funny one hour standing by
if you can sleep there it means it's not uncomfortable enough yeah 25 000 feet
we arrived a little bit too late in a voice city and uh there are no more buses from here this time
she says it doesn't stop along the way now we try to hitchhike and within two hours we don't get the
cars then we will take the late night
oh he goes 60 kilometers from here but then we don't have a train option anymore
so that city is in 40 kilometers from here and Bukhara in 120 kilometers from here
he goes very near and then we miss the train highways
we found this taxi uh 50 000 each to buchara the same price as train so we're taking it 12 30
and we just arrived in buchara guys never miss a train in uzbekistan because this is the fastest
the most comfortable way to travel try to buy the tickets the day before you plan your trip because
then the price gets higher and then there are no places available and now after how many four or
five hours of the road trip we are gonna walk to the hotel we are right right in the center of this
ancient beautiful city i think this is a central square and it looks like a fairy tale like i'm
time traveling this is amazing so we just arrived in a muslim hotel and our friend from couchsurfing
he owns this small hotel in bukhara and he invited us to come here and it has 9.9 on booking
wow it's very it's right in the city center and a very cozy beautiful place running beautiful
people it's 5 30 right the eight minutes before the sunrise and we're going to explore with her
everybody is asleep look at this sunrise it was definitely worth getting up at 5 pm look at this
it honestly looks so surrealistic it's a must visit city look at this
so if you're ever in uzbekistan 5 a.m is the best time to explore this city because before the sun
is up it's not too hot yet it's very fresh there are not many people around wow wow look at this
like the style of this square is similar to summertime because two
gates facing each other the color blue is very common here and this amazing tower
is just meeting the sunrise and i'm sure the view to the city from there is amazing
but i don't know if we're allowed to enter that this watch tower is permanently closed
and this behind me is called madresse it's a place where there's still 200 students come to study
every year and they learn science religion physics astronomy all kinds of things
you're holding hands together you're holding hands because you see that
we're all small beautiful small cute shops now a little market on
the street early in the morning they already start from sunrise
actually i smell them and if they smell very strong and have like this juicy smell then i buy
it means it's the best condition when it's a little bit soft but not too soft
2 000 20 cents of europe how much of the graves be on it
i don't know actually take a guess four thousand
we're buying something figs local fix and it's already
time okay guys i know this is not good to eat and vlog at the same time but this bread is something
amazing maybe because we're so hungry but this is really a very good homemade bread
and they make them in these big holes and they wake up around four a.m to prepare
everything for the bread and these are one of the best figs yes they're ever so fresh
stop eating figs Jesse we need to wash them first they open the nose these scissors
oh my god i've never seen anything like that
wow you make it right here yes can we come here oh this is where they make this amazing scissors
right in this
nice very generous wow so this family is for seven generations are making these scissors and knives
in this place wow right in the city
wow
this is so cool
look at this they're all colorful different types of birds and scissors and do you sell them online
do you sell them do you ship them worldwide yes or if you give your Instagram you can put on youtube
maybe people would want to order your now it's 5 p.m we are back here in the evening and during the
day the vibe is amazing all coffee shops ice cream shops handmade markets music traditional music
and very nice city i really love it look at this i just love all these handmade markets
not necessary to buy anything because i'm a backpacker and don't have too much space
but just to look at the stuff they sell and they make it's so traditional so cultural and beautiful
that i really enjoy markets these are the rooms where people used to study coming i'll show you
this looks a bit 3d like if you have seen game of thrones that's what i can comment here is a
fireplace they'll be used as stores why do you think that because they're all slowly renovating
from inside preparing for to make a small market and make a use of this place and another
fact about this city about bukhara is that all the ancient building they're not just museums
or some piece of architecture it's actually buildings where people still live until nowadays
still use it as the restaurants markets shops and all this ancient architecture is still
in use and it still looks amazing and this is like so impressive i feel like i went back to
thousand years in an ancient city and the spirit of this city is just amazing it's so magical
guys i really started loving uzbekistan i this is the most surprising and unexpected place for me
if you want to time travel and to feel thousand years ago
you should come to bukhara after time traveling we got hungry and right now we're gonna have a dinner
at this rooftop and see the view from there the city is night becomes even more magical
and funny thing all the stores are called here alibaba aladine jasmine and it really brings you
to this vibe like you're in a fairy tale so we visited this restaurant right in the city
center and this is the view from the rooftop the city is just amazing amazing i can see how it's
right in the middle of desert it's very windy very sandy very dusty but amazingly beautiful
so grateful to be here i have no words to describe how magical this city is
it's must visit in Uzbekistan
this is how this place looks at night even more beautiful so today we decided to ride the bike
but apparently there are no bike rentals in bukhara so then we were walking to the
store to buy water and there was there was a little boy about 13 years old
and he spoke russian so i asked him uh if he knows where we can rent a bike here because i
couldn't find anything online so he said he his friend rents a bike then he called his friend
his friend doesn't rent a bike apparently and then he just gave his own bike for 20 000 per hour but
because we were two people we needed two bikes then he called his other friend and he brought the
bike and just like that symbol easily we organized a bike rental and let the kids make some money
and for us to enjoy the city and right now behind me uh this is a bola mosque in bukhara
very beautiful place and thanks to bikes we could come to see this country used to be closed for
travel but from three years three years ago they decided to open up for the world and now you have
a unique opportunity to be one of the first travelers in this country to come and explore
this beautiful architecture so it's amazingly preserved it's untouched and they take a really
really good care of it and there's something unique that you cannot see anywhere the whole
city seems feels like a decoration but this is real this is actually how people live here
it's a fairy tale and only 20 000 of tourists for now explored at this country and uzbekistan is
preparing to receive more and more tourists whole country is very clean so come visit
uzbekistan enjoy also uzbek people are very nice and welcoming when you come to their home or meet
outside or somewhere they always welcome you with open hearts over the open hands and kind hearts
they're very positive and even walk just walking on the streets of bukhara if somebody hears
you speak english or any other foreign language they just tell you even kids welcome to bukhara
they're very happy to see guests here so please when you come here try to leave this place as
clean as it was before and respect the local culture that's why i'm dressed up like this
because they're not used to open legs short shorts so let's be respectful due to the culture and
to the nature so right now behind me there is a bukhara castle and the entrance fee is 25 000 each
and this castle that's where the hand of the ancient uzbekistan of bukhara state did you know
that aladdin and alibaba and forty thieves was filmed and based on bukhara yes it was here the
whole story and the books were about these places how cool is that okay guys i need to show you i
just ordered the soup takeaway and i need to show you how they drink soup in decoy here
i got the whole big glass and this is so heavy today is our last day in bukhara
and today we're planning our trip to tajikistan tomorrow morning at 5 am we are planning to take
a train to samarkand from summer country are going to take a taxi or damascus right to the border and
try to cross the border with tajikistan the land border was all the time closed and the
only way to get to tajikistan is by airplanes so right now we're gonna try our luck and try
to cross the border and hopefully they will let us go and if not then we have to go all the way
back to tashkent and from tashkent to andejan from anderson to osh from osh to bishkek to the capital
of kyrgyzstan and from there we will be able to take the flight and i really hope we can get

because most of the streets are just not on the map and we're just going i don't know where
there should be there should be something epic here oh i can see that okay it's right there
