Lonely Planet review for Alloquli Khan Medressa, Bazaar & Caravanserai

The street leading north opposite the Aq Mosque contains some of Khiva's most interesting buildings, most of them created by Alloquli Khan - known as the 'builder khan' - in the 1830s and '40s. First come the tall Alloquli Khan Medressa (1835) and the earlier Kutlimurodinok Medressa (1809), facing each other across the street, with matching tiled façades.

North of the Alloquli Khan Medressa are the Alloquli Khan Bazaar and Caravanserai. The entrance to both is through tall wooden gates beside the medressa. The bazaar is a domed market arcade, still catering to traders, which opens onto Khiva's modern Dekhon Bazaar at its east end.
