About the district

Jondor borders Olot and Qorakoʻl to the south-west and Bukhara, Romitan and Peshku districts to the east and north-east. It was set up in the 1930s as Sverdlov District, abolished in 1963, restored in 1967 and renamed Jondor in 1992. Its centre is the urban-type settlement of Jondor, about 20 km west of Bukhara, one of nine such settlements in the district.

The district lists 62 archaeological and 14 architectural monuments. The best known are the ruins of Varakhsha, with the palace of the Bukhar Khudahs (part of a UNESCO site since 2023), and the Qizbibi complex linked to the female saint Agha-yi Buzurg; the tomb of Mahmud Tarabi, leader of a 13th-century uprising, is also here. Textiles, food processing and silk farming are the main industries. On 1 January 2026 the district had 191,900 residents.
