Old Jewish Houses, Bukhara

We took some time to explore the Old Jewish Quarter. There, many of the houses have been recently revamped into boutique hotels. They come complete with original detailing including Jewish symbols and texts. Breakfast is often served in the inner courtyard, surrounded by decorated wooden columns.
