Sightseeing tour of Samarkand!
Description:
Discover Samarkand: architectural masterpieces and legends
I propose to make a cognitive journey under the open sky in the capital of great Tamerlane - Samarkand.
In the excursion program you will visit:
We will begin the tour of the Gur-Emir Mausoleum, the burial place of Tamerlane and his descendants, where I will tell interesting facts and legends associated with this historical figure. Next, we will head to Registan Square, the architectural symbol of the city, and admire the Bibi Khanum Cathedral Mosque, known for its sky-blue dome. You will also learn about the Hazret-Khizr Mosque, one of the oldest religious buildings, built in 1823 on the site of a mosque destroyed in the XIII century.
At the end of the tour, we will visit the Shahi-Zinda Memorial Complex, a mysterious architectural monument and a large spiritual center, where, according to legend, Kusam ibn Abbas, the cousin of the Prophet Muhammad, is buried.
Join us to immerse yourself in the rich history and culture of Samarkand!
