Overview of the tour in Samarkand

1. Registan Square: The heart of ancient Samarkand, this iconic square is surrounded by three grand madrasahs—Ulugh Beg, Sher-Dor, and Tilya-Kori. It’s a must-see for its intricate tile work and monumental architecture.

2. Gur-e-Amir Mausoleum: The tomb of Tamerlane (Amir Timur), the founder of the Timurid Empire, this mausoleum is an excellent example of Timurid architecture with its azure dome and detailed mosaics.

3. Shah-i-Zinda Necropolis: A complex of mausoleums dating back to the 9th century, known for its stunning tile work. It’s a sacred site for many and offers insight into the region’s religious history.

4. Bibi-Khanym Mosque: Once one of the largest mosques in the Islamic world, this structure was built in the 15th century by Tamerlane. Though partially in ruins, it remains an awe-inspiring site.

5. Ulugh Beg Observatory: Built by Tamerlane’s grandson Ulugh Beg, this ancient observatory was one of the most advanced in the medieval world. The remaining sextant is a testament to the scientific achievements of the era.
