With over 2500 years of rich history, Samarkand is known as the “precious pearl” and “face of the earth” in the East, sharing its legacy with cities like Athens, Rome, and Babylon. Here are the places we’ll visit today:
1 Majestic Gur-Emir mausoleum and tombs of Timurid dynasty (the mausoleum's shape resembles a closed turquoise tulip)
2 Registan Square - the heart of Samarkand. It originated long before the Mongol invasion (13th century), as a gathering point of urban craftsmen and merchants. The word Registan means “a place on the sand”. Lunch in a national restaurant.
3 Siyab bazaar (traditional open air market)

2 Chor Minor (meaning "Four Minarets" in Farsi language) is an architecturally unique and historic monument. This structure stands out for its distinctive design and is one of Bukhara's most renowned and photographed sites.
3 Lyabi Hauz area - a quintessential example of Central Asian urban planning and architecture, centered around a tranquil pond (hauz) that dates back to the 17th century. Lunch.
