Nagai Caravanserai

 At the end of the XIX century, Russian engineers presented a railway project that was supposed to link Kagan and Chardzhou through Bukhara. In 1884, the project was presented to the then ruler of Bukhara, Emir Nasrullah. Thinking, the emir asked for advice from his vizier and the great scientist Ahmad Donish. After reviewing the document, Ahmad Donish replied to the ruler: "If the work is done on this basis, many of our ancient monuments will be damaged. This is unacceptable for us”" the scientist said. And after a while, by the decree of the Bukhara ruler, he presented his project.


The Beleuli caravanserai is located on a natural hill 193.5 meters above sea level, in the southern part of the Ustyurt plateau, 22.9 kilometers northeast of the Beineu-Kungrad highway and railway, 78.3 kilometers to the south- east of the Karakalpakstan railway station and 66.7 kilometers northwest of the Zhaslyk railway station in the Kungrad region of the Republic of Karakalpakstan.

Bileuli caravanserai is an architectural monument of the XIV century. In 1982 it was investigated by an expedition of the Kazakh Committee for the Design and Restoration of Monuments (headed by A. Tokhtabaev)

 In Bukhara, near the famous historical complex Lyab-i Hauz, the well-known architectural monument Kukeldash Madrasah is located (built in 1568 - 1569). It is the largest Bukhara madrasah and one of the largest ones in Central Asia. It was built during the reign of Abdullah-Khan II and was funded by Bukhara governor Kulbab who ruled the city under several khans and managed to maintain good relations with all of them.  Kukeldash Madrasah was also a unique building of its time in terms of architecture. Virtually all the madrasahs then had the similar design of a solid rectangle with a large decorated portal and a courtyard. Kukeldash Madrasah has no solid walls. Instead, they are walls with niches and balconies with stucco ornaments. There are 160 hujra cells in the madrasah, filling the both floors along the perimeter of the spacious courtyard. The madrasah still remains in good condition despite the fact that once the portal was heavily damaged by an earthquake and was fixed with just

 Central Asia has seen many rulers who left large footprints on the sands of the history, but Ulugbek will forever remain in the memory of the Central Asian peoples, not only as the grandson of Tamerlane, but also as one of the greatest scholars of Central Asia. Muhammad Tarag’ay (real name of Ulugbek) was born on 22 March1394 in a family of Amir Timur’s youngest son Shahrukh. Since the very infancy Ulugbek was placed under the care of Timur’s favourite wife Saray Mulk Khanum. It had been a regular practice of the Timurid era, so that the parents did not spoil their children. Ulugbek was one of the few Timurid princes who took part in the campaigns of his great grandfather, of course, most of the time he spent in the waggon-train and not with the army, but the grandchildren often visited Timur, who closely monitored their education and upbringing. Since early ages Ulugbek showed great talent in the sciences, thus being different from other Timurid princes. During one of the campaigns,
