"Evade the bloody heat in summer :-)" Top 5 Page for this destination Bukhara Local Custom Tip by Trekki

The city is HOT in summer. At least I was relieved to hear that I was not the only one who thought so, in so many travellers reports people mention this heat.
After coming from Khiva (and only small amount of shade) I was very positively surprised to see so many green areas in Bukhara. If you wander around, you’ll find small and shady places and bigger parks almost around every corner. The biggest park is west of the Ark, near Bolo Hauz Mosque.

Or, if you want to do as the Uzbeks do – bring an umbrella :-)

I was very much amused to see so many people (mostly women) walking around with umbrellas. But well, coming from middle Europe, umbrellas mean more rain protection for me (not that I have one….)
