Hello dears,
I am Nilufar a local guide in Bukhara of Uzbekistan.

I got all my education here in my city Bukhara. I have graduated from Bukhara State University , the faculty of foreign philology .
After the University I went to school to work , later I went to school for guides under the Uzbektourism company , studied there for a year and got my guiding certificate . Since 2007 I have been guiding in Bukhara and love, enjoy my work very much.

Bukhara from ancient times was a big center of spiritual beauty. That's why you find here Islamic architectures like mosques , madrassahs, minarets, domitories for dervishes where they used to held different discussions to enrich people spiritually.
From my childhood I walk in the narrow, labirint streets of my city Bukhara and have a plesent feeling by looking to those architectures from down or from the top of the minarets .
From top it looks as if those turquoise domes of mosques and madrassahs connected the sky and the earth.
The city still have the mood of traditional living. It is a big tradition in Bukhara to learn a craft from the childhood. That's why when you walk in the city you find a lot of workshops where the youth learn types of craft with big enthusiasm. And they are proud of taking steps of their family members. It teaches them responsibility as well.

When you walk through the old part of the city you feel as if you are a hero of the famous fairy tale" 1001 nights".

We with great pleasure invite you all to Uzbekistan !
And I am waiting for you in Bukhara to say " Welcome to noble Bukhara!"

BTW, when we welcome you we put our hand on our heart which means you are close to my heart , the same the Uzbek do while greeting to each other.

We continue our talk when you come to Bukhara hopefully!
