On the map
One clear point for Bolo-Hauz Mosque — The hauz, carved columns, and the mosque beside the Ark.
Place
The map pin marks this attraction so the stop stays readable in the day plan.
Why this place
Bolo-Hauz matters because it gives the Ark area a different kind of stop. After gates and fortress walls, the hauz, wooden columns, and mosque porch bring the Bukhara walk back to close detail before nearby mausoleums, trading lanes, and the old-city route continue. «Bolo-Hauz gives the Ark-side walk a quieter moment by the hauz and wooden iwan.»
What you'll see
Look for the hauz, the wooden iwan, painted porch details, the small minaret, and the way the mosque sits between the Ark and the old-city walk.
How to visit
Keep the visit calm and practical. The hauz, wooden porch, mosque setting, and Ark context are close together, so the stop does not need to be long to feel complete.
What to add nearby
The Ark is the closest pairing. Chashma-Ayub and the Samanid Mausoleum keep the route on the western side of old Bukhara, while Poi-Kalyan brings the day back toward the main mosque-minaret ensemble.
Fortress walls, museum rooms, a raised entrance, and Bolo-Hauz nearby show Bukhara's ruling side at the edge of the old city.
View
A quiet brick mausoleum near the park gives Bukhara an early architectural landmark away from the busiest streets.
View
The Kalyan minaret, mosque, Miri-Arab Madrasah, brick courtyards, and old Bukhara lanes form the city's key ensemble.
View
Near the Samanid Mausoleum, Chashma-Ayub adds a spring story, a conical dome, and modest museum rooms to the Bukhara walk.

Timing, best hours, and how this stop fits neighbouring pins.
a focused half-day with buffer is a practical range for most groups. Keep the stop readable: one clear arrival, one clear exit. Place tone: “The hauz, carved columns, and the mosque beside the Ark”.
Prefer early morning or late afternoon. That usually improves comfort, photos, and how the stop feels in the sequence around bukhara.
Treat it as one clear pin on the map: arrive intentionally, avoid sandwiching it between two rushed monuments, and keep the next move short enough that the group still has energy.
