City

This is the best Samarkand City tour
for visiting this great city in just one day. Of all of the UNESCO World
Heritage Sites in Uzbekistan, Samarkand is the most majestic: the squares were
once filled with merchants from far and wide, and the halls of these grand
buildings were walked by some of most important scholars of their time. Start
with the Ulugbek Observatory, a museum dedicated to the achievements and work
of scientists from generations past. Shahi-Zinda, a winding alley lined with
intricately-decorated mausoleums, is the next stop, followed by Bibi-Khanum
Mosque, still impressive even though it has laid in ruins for centuries.
Registan Square is the crown jewel of Samarkand, a symbol of Samarkand’s
history as a trade and cultural center on the Silk Road. Finish up the tour
with stops at Siab Bazaar, perfect for wandering among vendors of dried fruits,
colorful cloths, and freshly-baked bread, and Gur-Emir Mausoluem, the final
resting place of Timur, one of the greatest rulers of Central Asia. For just
one day, you’ll be back in the time of the Silk Road, walking the streets of
Samarkand and seeing the monuments of this great city.

Samarkand is
situated in the valley of the river Zerafshan. It is the second largest city of
Uzbekistan and is of the same age as the city of Babylon or Rome.

The history of
Samarkand is about 2,750 years old and has witnessed many upheavals during the
times of Alexander the Great, the Arabic Conquest, Genghis-Khan Conquest and
lastly Tamerlane’s. Hence, the culture of Samarkand was developed and mixed
together with the Iranian, Indian, Mongolian and a bit of the Western and
Eastern cultures.
