LONDON, May 1. /Dunyo IA/. The leading British daily newspaper, “The Daily Mail”, has published an article featuring the tourist attractions of Bukhara, recommending that UK travellers visit the city, reports Dunyo IA correspondent.

The publication notes that Uzbekistan is a country with a profoundly rich history and cultural heritage, yet it remains a relatively hidden gem for British tourists. One of its crown jewels is Bukhara - an ancient Silk Road city with a history spanning over five thousand years. Its compact historic center boasts a dense concentration of mosques, madrasas, and caravanserais. Over the centuries, the city has witnessed cycles of flourishing and destruction, yet it has risen time and again to become a preeminent Islamic center.

“Today, tourists receive a far warmer welcome, as historian Bettany Hughes discovered while exploring Uzbekistan for her recent “Channel 4” series, Treasures of the World. The show showcased not only the country’s exquisite art and architecture but also its hospitable people”, - the article emphasizes.

The publication states that Bukhara attracts travellers not only with its architecture but also with its unique atmosphere, bazaars featuring traditional crafts, and cultural initiatives such as international art festivals. Uzbekistan as a whole is actively developing its tourism sector, offering convenient routes between Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara, alongside opportunities to visit Khiva and the Aral Sea region.

“The country is renowned for its hospitality, national cuisine, and a unique blend of history and modernity. Uzbekistan is becoming an increasingly attractive destination for those seeking a new cultural discovery”, - “The Daily Mail” concludes.
