Built in the 16th century under the guidance of Sheikh Abdullah Yamani of Yemen, this venerable institution is one of Uzbekistan’s most revered Islamic schools. Its grand turquoise domes, intricate mosaics, and imposing gateway epitomize the height of Shaybanid architectural elegance. The madrasa remains active, so respectful behavior is essential. Peek into the courtyard to witness students reciting holy texts and learning Islamic sciences. Just steps away lie bustling bazaars, teahouses, and other UNESCO-listed gems of Bukhara’s Old Town.
