Tour of Samarkand - with a soul and a fire!

One of the most significant architectural monuments of Uzbekistan appeared in the early 15th century. This is the family mausoleum of the Timurid dynasty. You will get acquainted with the great emir, powerful conqueror and founder of the dynasty - Tamerlane.

On Registan Square you will see three famous madrassas: Ulugbek, Sherdor and Tilla-Kari. They are all UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In this location we will talk about the local education system of the 15th century.

Bibi-Khanim Mosque was built in the 14-15 centuries - just at the time when the monumental ceremonial style developed in the architecture of Central Asia. So the rulers sought to glorify their name and the greatness of the state. You will admire the Oriental architecture to the guide's stories about Islam.

And of course, we will not ignore one of the best monuments of architecture of Central Asia. The necropolis was formed around the grave of the Prophet Muhammad’s cousin. The guide will tell more about this, as well as about how religion came to the territory of Uzbekistan and how it penetrated into the lives of people and the difficult fate of the country.
