Tour Details

Pickup will be from your hotel at a designated time to begin the journey through Samarkand. The adventure starts at the Guri Emir Mausoleum, a significant Islamic architectural site housing the tomb of Tamerlane (Timur).

Next, visit the iconic Registan Square, which has a legacy of over 2,700 years. Here, explore the three madrasas—Ulughbek, Sherdor, and Tilla Kori, known for their intricate mosaics.

Continue to the Shahi Zindah necropolis, a UNESCO site featuring blue-domed mausoleums and ancient mosques, offering excellent photo opportunities.

Shortly thereafter, see the Bibi Khanum Mosque, formerly the largest mosque in Central Asia, and learn about Samarkand’s significance on the Silk Road.

Conclude the tour at the Siyab Bazaar, where you'll have time to explore stalls and choose souvenirs. The tour lasts approximately 8 hours, after which you will return to your hotel.
