         Hello everyone 👋💞😊

Today, on  December 16, is the 5th day of our practice 🤗✨. Our destination🌟💫today was Toki Zargaron🕍 . We gathered with our group members👩‍🏫at🙃 09:00 in front of this place . We entered🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️ this indoor bazaars of Bukhara the leadership of our lovely 💕😍❤️teacher Zarifa Gafurovna💫💝. This indoor bazaar is very beautiful🤩🤩. Today it was the turn of our Sevara , Sabina I and Dilnura. We tried to  gave  necessary information about this indoor bazaar. 

The Toki-Zargaron dome is translated as "💫the dome of jewelers💍👑". This is an indoor market located at the crossroads of the once busy shopping streets of Bukhara. The dome of Toki-Zargaron was built first in 1586-1587 by Abdulla Khan. The complex was intended for jewelry trade. Previously, there were 36 jewelry shops in the shops selling a variety of ornaments. Today, you can buy souvenirs💎🎑🎐, painted shawls, household items in the Bukhara style, and just like in the old days various unique ornaments.

                Toki Zargaron Dome

In the Middle Ages Bukhara was a major shopping center. Merchants from all over the world 🌍🗺️like China, Russia, India, Iran, and all of Central Asia, passing along the Great Silk Road, stopped in Bukhara. Thus, Bukhara began to be built up by bazaars 🛒🛍️and shopping streets. In the squares and crossroads of the streets, complex multi-vaulted domes overlapping the "current" - the arch, the vault. Today in Bukhara there are 4 trading domes: Toki-Zargaron, Toki-Sarrofon, Telpak-Furushon and Tim Abdullah Khan. All of the four domes are unique in architecture and design.

Toqi Zargaron Bazaar🕍 is another covered trade dome located a bit further up the road from Toqi Telpak furushon🕍, just past the Tim-Abdullah Khan Trade Dome,( in my presentation I share photos of there )at a junction in the road where travelers turn right to access the Abdualaziz Khan Madrassa, or left to continue on towards thePo-i-Kalyan Ensemble. Toqi Zargaron is not only the largest 🧐covered trade dome in Bukhara occupying an area of 43 x 45 meters, it was also the first😯. Built in 1569, it contained 36 workshops in its heyday all occupied by goldsmiths and jewelry sellers. Today the trade dome and the area around it are undergoing extensive renovations that don’t always use traditional materials as required by Bukhara’s world heritage protected zone. The renovations mean tourism is booming, but the cost to authenticity is clearly evident in this part of town. Like the other trade domes in the historic core, this one no longer serves any practical purpose for locals and instead has also caved to the pressure of tourism by offering handicrafts💫🎗️📜 and souvenirs.🏺⚱️📿.That the end for today🙃💫.See you next time 🤗🤗✨
