The third day of the practise

 Today, 30.11.2020 we visited mosque Magoki Aftari. The most ancient preserved Bukhara mosque Magoki Aftari (in translation means "the mosque in the pit","deep mosque") is situated in the center of the city, near the Lyabi Hovuz complex. Before the Arabian conquest trade market for species and herbs sellers (the attars) was established at the site of mosque.
