Things to see and do Vabkent

In the friendly village of Vabkent stands, overlooking the surrounding adobe roofs, the tapering silhouette of a 39 m high minaret, typical of Karakhanid architecture. It is only an optical illusion due to its slimness that makes it appear higher than the Kalon minaret of Bukhara, to which it nevertheless yields 4 meters. Vabkent is not necessarily worth a specific detour, but if you go to Gijduvan to visit the ceramic workshop, plan to make a small stop while taking a picture and take a few steps in the surrounding streets.
