La Route de la Soie

Uzbekistan: Bukhara (1x7)

Air date: Jan 10, 2017

Home town of Avicenna, Bukhara remains the dreamland of many wayfarers through the ages. Our guide meets some of its artists and craftsmen. There are reminders of the Silk Road everywhere you look - woven into a fabric’s pattern, on talismans, and so on. The bazaar is the beating heart of the city – a bubbling melting-pot of cultures.
