30.10.2023. Nugay caravanserai

  Today we started our first practise. So our destination was Nugay caravanserai. Among a great deal of sights, which decorate beautiful Bukhara  is  Nugay caravanserai in particular. This unique construction was founded in XVI century, when Muhammed Rakhimbiy Khan ruled here.

    Nugay, which is currently one of the most famous historical places in Bukhara, is located in the very heart of the old town. It stands near to the trade dome of Toki-Sarrafon and the House of Bukhara merchant.


    At those times building of caravanserais was an ordinary thing, and their meaning for single travelers and the whole caravans was really considerable. Under the canopy of trees, growing here, tired travelers satisfied hunger and thirst, and numerous rooms of the caravanserais were giving shelter and helpful rest. In caravanserais - ancient prototype of modern hotels - sometimes there was no tableware or bedding. Travelers had to bring meals for themselves and the animals also with them. Usually caravanserais could offer only shelter, and sometimes water. However, Nugay provided its guests with all the necessary conveniences.



  Nugay caravanserai is decorated in national style, and has a shape of closed square. Only one way - via the wide gates - leads inside. One-stored brick building, which seems small from the first sight, has a good capacity, in fact. It includes 45 rooms for guests’ rest, and a number of working space and rooms for servants. More than 40 travelers - pilgrims, merchants, caravanners, together with accompanying persons, could accommodate under the roof of Nugay caravanserai without any difficulty
    Practise day was full of interesting information

Its construction in 714 is associated with the name of the Arab Sheikh, Governor of Khorasan, Qutayba Ibn Muslim – one of the first people who brought Islam to the territory of Central Asia. Even before the arrival of the Arabs to Bukhara, a bazaar was located on the site of the mosque, where before the establishment of Islam, Zoroastrian idols, medicinal herbs and spices – attoron – were sold. And in the beginning, this place was called Attoron Bazaar. There was also a cult Zoroastrian temple of the Moon.In order not to drown out the history of the area, the mosque, built on the site of the destroyed temple of the Zoroastrians, was named Magoki Attori.
