Today we visited to the historical place, Mağoki attor mosque. Nowadays it is used as a carpet museum. Firstly, we gave information about that place to our teacher. It is speculated as built in the 9th to 10th century on the remains of a Zoroastrian temple from the pre-Islamic era.[1] Before the Arab conquest there was a bazaar on the site of Maghoki Attori Mosque. It was a market for idols, potions and spices – attor (perfumes) and other goods. Besides this, there was formerly a Temple of the Moon (Mah) close to this place. Before the construction of the first synagogue, Jews in Bukhara had shared a place in the mosque with Muslims.

Today,we went to blacksmith forge museum in Bukhara together with course mates, teacher and a tourist guest.   Firstly, all of us met at the entrance of the museum. The guest had no information about that place. So we told all the information we had to our teacher and the tourist in order to make him know the history, architecture and importance of that place located in my hometown. In addition to the forge, the museum has a collection of blacksmith tools, historical photographs, and documents. It also showcases a Victorian cottage garden and wall paintings dating back to the late 16th century, providing a broader historical context. The museum and tools inside are so impressive that everything there made us feel the past times. The knives, sickles, hoes and other items demonstrate the craftsmanship of blacksmiths of that time. Here,I should tell one thing that this journey has been greater and more enjoyable than the journeys of the previous days. Maybe because the teacher held a game
