Fayzullo Xojayev house
What It Is
This memorial museum in Bukhara is dedicated to the politician Fayzulla Khodjaev. Housed in a former residential mansion with separate courtyards for men and women, the complex reopened to visitors following a 2023 restoration. Travellers visit to see traditional Bukharan domestic architecture, carved woodwork, and displays on early 20th-century regional history.

Time to Allow
Allow 45 to 60 minutes to walk through both courtyards, tour the restored interior rooms, and view the exhibits.
