Sitori-i-Mokhi Khosa palace

Sitori Mokhi Khosa Palace is a stunning testament to Uzbekistan’s royal heritage. Built as the summer residence of the last Emir of Bukhara in the early 20th century, it beautifully blends European architectural influences with traditional Central Asian artistry. What I loved most was its colorful and fascinating interior — every room feels like stepping into a different painting, with vibrant wall patterns, exquisite ceilings, and intricate decorative details that showcase master craftsmanship. The combination of bright colors and fine ornamentation creates a magical, almost dream-like atmosphere. Walking through the palace felt like being transported to another time, where elegance and artistry went hand in hand. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates history, culture, and beauty all in one place.

This palace is located in the outskirt of Bukhara town. It has now become a museum. We can still see the traditional wear during ancient time which was well kept in glass cases. Interesting rooms with many gifts from other countries too. Nice architecture of the building. Lots of peacocks in the courtyard. The entrance has lots of sellers selling long dresses and souvenirs. Interesting history of why this summer palace was built at this place.

Worth a visit. You can enjoy a walk between the various buildings. The exhibition gives a glimpse inti the live style and tastes of the khans.

A fusion of European and Central Asian styles, this former royal residence is ornate, colourful, and surprisingly tranquil. Interiors are richly decorated with mirrored halls, painted ceilings, and wood carvings. The peacock-dotted gardens add an extra touch of magic.

I would highly recommend this place. Although it has some distance from the main tourist spot. It is very beautiful and big palace. Now it is a museum. Could be there to learn more about their culture and history.

From Australia Cost 60 000 Som to get in with no guide. Interior walls and ceilings are nicely decorated, but lots of random items in cabinets and carpets hung on the walls. Would be nice to see the rooms laid out how they would have been used. Most people seemed more impressed by the large number of peacocks. Not a must-see.

Peaceful atmosphere, quick fact- ❗''Sitorai Mohi Hosa' meaning Sitor-star, Moh-moon and Hosa-palace, translated as a place decorated by stars and moon. If you are from abroad or anyone interested in history and art it is recommended to visit with a 'guide' to explain and follow storytelling.

Definitely worth going out of your way to visit the palace, the bus is an experience in of itself. The interior of the palace is beautiful and there's a nice section with carpets. Quite a few peacocks roam free and there's small artisans from which you can buy souvenirs.
