"The Emir of Bukhara's Palace is a unique monument of early 20th-century Eastern architecture that combines Eastern luxury with European Art Nouveau. It was built in 1907-1912 as the summer residence of the Emir of Bukhara, Seyyid Abdul-Akhad Khan, on a 0.8-hectare plot of land.
Craftsmen from Bukhara and Khorezm decorated the building with carved ornaments, ceramic tiles, and Moorish arches.
The palace's architecture is an eclectic mix with a dominant Neo-Moorish style. The facades are decorated with a minaret, a peshtak (a pointed arch), openwork balconies, and blue-and-white mosaics. The interiors feature stucco, an Art Nouveau fireplace with tiles, and antique chandeliers. The complex originally included a harem connected to the main building by a wooden bridge, which was later replaced by a corridor.
During the Soviet era, in the 1920s, the building housed the Bukharin Sanatorium. Later, it became part of the Thälmann Sanatorium.
It is written that since 2017, the building has been leased for 49 years as a hotel, with the mandatory preservation of its historical appearance. As we have seen, the building is still under renovation.
Nearby is the "Zodiac Signs" sundial, also known as the "Egg of Wishes." It is a stone egg on a pedestal that can be rotated slightly with the effort of at least three people. This implies that the fulfillment of desires depends not only on the person who desires it, but also on the collective efforts of their loved ones, and by working together, they can achieve their goals."

"It was built as a summer palace for the Emir of Bukhara in the early 1900s, covering an area of 8,000 square meters. We were unable to enter the building because it was undergoing renovations."

"Menacing lions, painted pottery and a tower of death for unfaithful wives are all part of the former residence of a Central Asian ruler in the Caucasus.
The residence is a whole complex of buildings connected by passages and flights of stairs. In the main palace, blue in color, with turrets and a golden dome, the emir was going to receive nobles. Another building is not so formal, but has a beautiful turret and is decorated with a majolica belt. Majolica—baked clay painted with glaze—was made in St. Petersburg by order of the emir. The masters went to Bukhara to study the drawing. This tower was called the Tower of Death: supposedly they were going to throw off unfaithful wives from it."
