Islamic dept., Faculty of Archaeology, Cairo Univ E-mail: [email protected] Received 15/11/2017 Accepted 3/6/2018 Abstract The architectural complexes in Central Asia received great attention by the sultans and princes who significantly contributed to building them, including mosques, madāris, and khanqahs. Bukhara held many of the complexes, indicating the prosperous architectural activity that reflected the architectural creations and traditions of the city. In addition, it showed the skills of architects and artists in giving cohesion to the environment in Central Asia, as well as the variety of architectural and decorative units. Therefore, the present study of the Complex of Chor Bakr aims to define the relationship between the buildings and the political, scientific, and artistic conditions and to recognize the architectural features of the buildings in Bukhara during the Shaibanid era.

  • Analysis and Perspectives of Tourism Development in Uzbekistan
    Analysis and perspectives of tourism development in Uzbekistan ALEKSANDRA KIM University of Santiago de Compostela [email protected] [Recibido abril 2014; aceptado mayo 2014] Abstract An analysis of tourism development and its perspectives in Uzbekistan is carried out in this article. The purpose of this analysis is to study international tourists´ arrivals into the country since its independence in 1991, the economic impact of the tourism sector into the overall GDP, country ranking and destination image. Destination image plays significant role in choice of many travellers. Nevertheless, today Uzbekistan doesn´t have a strong image that could be associated with destination. Moreover, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish the uniqueness of Uzbekistan, especially in relation to its geographical position as the middle part of the Silk Road. Empirical study of destination image by first time visitors was carried out in our research in order to measure the image of Uzbekistan as a tourist destination. Key words: tourism development, country ranking, destination image, Uzbekistan, Central Asia, the Silk Road. Resumen En el presente artículo se lleva a cabo un análisis del desarrollo del turismo y sus perspectivas en Uzbekistán. El objetivo de dicho artículo es el estudio de las llegadas de turistas internacionales en el país desde su independencia en 1991, el impacto económico del sector turístico en el PIB, el ranking del país y imagen de destino. Imagen de destino juega un papel significativo en la hora de selección destino turístico. Sin embargo, hoy Uzbekistán no tiene una imagen fuerte que podría estar asociado con el destino. Por otra parte, a veces es difícil distinguir la singularidad de Uzbekistán, sobre todo en relación con su situación geográfica como la parte central de la Ruta de la Seda.

    GEEO ITINERARY HEART OF THE SILK ROAD – Summer Day 1: Bishkek Arrive at any time. Arrive at any time. Our program will begin tonight in Bishkek, and we typically have a group meeting at the hotel around 6 p.m. Upon arrival at the hotel, please check the notice board for information about the group meeting. During the group meeting, the leader will outline the trip itinerary and answer any questions you might have. If you arrive early enough, consider visiting the State Historical Museum to learn more about Kyrgyzstan. This marble-faced cube building, built-in 1984 when Kyrgyzstan was part of the Soviet Union, retains many aspects of its original purpose as a state-of-the-art Lenin Museum. Day 2: Bishkek/Chong-Kemin (B, D) Morning city tour of Bishkek before departing for Chong-Kemin. Stop at the Burana Tower before arriving at the community guest house. Explore the village and then eat a home-cooked traditional dinner. We start the day with a tour of Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan’s capital and largest city. Bishkek is an interesting example of a czarist planned city: it is built in a grid with wide boulevards flanked by irrigation canals and large trees, buildings with marble façades, and Soviet apartment complexes. The city was founded in 1825 as the Khokand fortress of "Pishpek" as a means of controlling local caravan routes and enabling the collection of tributes from Kyrgyz tribes. The name is thought to derive from a Kyrgyz word for a churn used to make fermented mare's milk ("kumis"), the Kyrgyz national drink, although not all sources agree on this.
