UZBEKISTAN - a dome of the Mir-i Arab Madrassah in Bukhara

MEET THE STANS: UZBEKISTAN - a dome of the Mir-i Arab Madrassah in Bukhara. Located on the Silk Road, the city has long been a centre of trade, scholarship, culture, and religion.

Meet the Stans is a four-part BBC TV series, shown on BBC2, BBC World and by broadcasters internationally, in which Simon Reeve travelled from the far north-west of Kazakhstan, by the Russian border, east to the Chinese border, south through Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan to the edge of Afghanistan, and west to Uzbekistan and the legendary Silk Road cities of Samarkand and Bukhara.
