An extremely old place and the atmosphere. There is a market nearby, where it is fashionable to buy almost everything you need. There is also a nice zoo nearby, but it's better not to go near it, it smells very strong)))))

The mausoleum of Chashma Ayyub is located nearby, almost behind the fence of the Central Market of Bukhara, on the outskirts of the central park. Well renovated . The entrance to it is free.

The most interesting thing in this mausoleum is the museum of the history of water supply in Bukhara. This topic is very important for Uzbekistan in general and for Bukhara in particular, and deserves a more detailed and understandable museum.
The schemes of irrigation channels and houses (pools) are made intelligently. The photos about the drainage of swamps were amazing, were there swamps in Bukhara?? There are no explanations. The section about the construction of the canal from the Amu Darya in Soviet times was not developed at all, only photos. The scheme is completely incomprehensible, the inscriptions are only in Uzbek.
The history of the disappearance of the Aral Sea is intuitive according to the scheme, but much more information is needed! There is a long text in Uzbek that is not duplicated in either English or Russian.
The layouts are good, and so are the photos of the water carriers. There are wineskins and water jugs, which is great. The water level in the houses at the beginning of the last century is impressive.
But there is a great lack of detailed explanations. The museum is designed to be visited with a knowledgeable guide, this is wrong. The information should be available to any visitor.
Still, it's good that such a museum exists in principle.
