Sixth day - 馃槉 Toqi Sarrafon 馃槆

 Toqi Sarrafon

Hello my dears.Our today's guided tour took place in Toqi Sarrafon which is one of the most important tourist attractions of Bukhara. Despite some problems with weather, our trip was memorable and enjoyable. We learnt some new information about Toqi Sarrafon during today's trip . Now I want to tell some of them馃




The majestic trade dome Toqi Sarrafon is located at the intersection of several streets that connect the city centre of Bukhara with a medieval suburb (Registan and Rabat) . The structure was named after the Sarrafs- the merchants who transformed it . Traditionally, the exchange of currencies of different states was carried out by Indians. This means that the dome can be considered one of the oldest  "currency exchanges" in the East. The main part of the structure - a huge dome -stands on four large arches and on all sides this structure is surrounded by various buildings. The arches are interesting because they are executed in a unique architectural style. Their design is called "charzamin" and this type of finishing is typical for Bukhara. Of course, the modern dome does not gather currency experts ,but an unimaginable number of traditional eastern souvenirs are collected here.






Travellers will find original jewellery (necklaces, earrings, rings) as well as all kind of kitchen utensils and appliances and even expensive jewelleries, in addition to light - coloured carpets and patterned skullcaps. 









Nowadays a number of tourists are coming to see them  and enjoy. They will buy several kind of items, such as jewelleries, souvenirs , carpets, skullcaps and others . 






Despite bad weather condition馃ザ馃ザ馃ザ, we spent time enjoyable and learnt much information馃槆馃槆馃槆. Also we took photos with our coursmates馃摲馃摳,  as well as our teacher was with us .馃槉




I will wait your comments 馃槆馃槈馃檭馃槉
