A richly tiled 19th-century madrassah in Khiva's Itchan Kala walled city — shoot grand blue-tiled portals, symmetrical inner courtyard, carved wooden doors and tile close-ups. Best at golden hour (sunrise or late afternoon) for warm light on turquoise tiles and soft shadows. Weekday mornings are quieter. Modest dress is required; entry fee to Itchan Kala and small site tickets may apply. Narrow streets limit parking—use central lots and walk 5–10 minutes. Respect worship areas and avoid tripods/
