Of course. Here is a shorter version:
Telpak Furushon
A stunning Silk Road relic. This domed 16th-century marketplace is incredibly atmospheric. While it now houses souvenir shops, the powerful sense of history remains. The architecture is magnificent standing under the vast dome and imagining the ancient fur traders is a highlight of visiting Bukhara. Don't just walk by; step inside and feel the past. A must-see.

I shoped at Lola Shop in the morning of 25 September 2025. I bought large number of items so I needed to take my sunglasses off and placed it on the owner's table. However, when I was distracted, the owner took the sunglasses and put it on one of the display shelves, hidden behind other items. When I realized 5 minutes later that my sunnies was no longer on the table, I asked him and he confessed. I had already spent 2.5 million som worth of cushion covers and this cunning man still tried to steal my Gucci sunglasses! What if I had realized it after I left the shop for quite a while? he wouldn't have admitted and returned my sunnies. Hope karma will get him.

A small bazaar in the heart of the old city of Bukhara, that takes you back millenia ago, on the Silk Road. Even though it costs a bit more than in other places, the prices are really low and you can bargain for everything. And the setting is perfect - the arhitecture and all the vibe.

This is a clean and well organized bazaar that Taylor to mostly tourists, they sell all kinds of souvenirs from clothing, hats, fake Russian pins, hats, gears. But they don’t sell actual foods, vegetables, fruits or meats like a normal market. This is fun to look around and enjoy the bazaar without the crowds like other places.

The Toqi Telpak Furushon is one of the three remaining toqs ("market domes") in the old city center of Bukhara. A toq is a domed intersection that formed the junctions between the market streets and where a certain professional group was concentrated. For example, the Toqi Telpak Furushon was the bazaar for (luxury) headgear and was built in Persian style in 1570-1571 by the Shaybanid ruler Abdullah Khan II.
