...Satisfying that desire is surprisingly easy.

The twin turrets of the West Gate are breathtaking, as is the all-encompassing view from the Khan's Kunya Ark. Tour the bazaar outside the eastern wall: until 1873 thousands of slaves?Russians, Kurds and Persians?were sold at the pens by the Eastern Gate.
