The Ark Fortress: Secrets Behind the Walls

This is a tour inside the Ark fortress. This tour provides overview of Bukhara city in one location.  For over two thousand years, the Ark Citadel was more than just a fortress—it was a "city within a city" and the fortified residence of the Bukharian Kings. Today, the Ark has transformed from a royal palace into the city’s Main State Museum, offering the most comprehensive look at Bukhara’s history.

As we walk through the ancient corridors, we will explore:

• The interesting stories of the Emirs, their traditions, and lifestyle
• Exquisite manuscripts and the fine craftsmanship of the Silk Road
• Ancient artifacts from the region's deepest roots
• A look at the unique flora and fauna of the Bukhara region

No visit to the Ark is complete without the view. The citadel offers a stunning panoramic lookout over the domes and minarets of the old city.
