The tourist company DWC invites you to an exciting adventure to the necropolis of Chor-Bakr, also known as the City of the Dead, located just 5 kilometers west of Bukhara. The first burials here appeared a thousand years ago, indicating an ancient settlement of dervishes. However, the magnificent architectural ensemble that attracts pilgrims and tourists today was created only in the 16th century.

Hazira is a special form of burial structures, consisting of a courtyard surrounded by massive walls and beautiful decorated gates. It is this construction that distinguishes the Chor-Bakr necropolis from other cult burials of Uzbekistan, such as Shah-i-Zinda.

Chor-Bakr is truly a mysterious and special place. Visiting it, it is impossible not to feel the presence of the world of the departed, where in the silence of the alleys thoughts arise about the transience of existence and the fleetingness of human life. Traveling to the Chor-Bakr necropolis with the tourist company DWC and renting jeeps in Bishkek is a unique opportunity to open the gates to the past.
