About this experience
During the journey through Samarkand at sunset, you will admire majestic structures illuminated and take stunning photos filled with the enchantment of Medieval East. I will introduce you to the history of ancient architectural monuments and tell you with special reverence about the legendary Tamerlane. And in the new park 'Eternal City,' you will see the whole mosaic of vibrant Uzbekistan before you.
What awaits you
Registan Square
I will definitely show you the main attraction of our city, consisting of two majestic medressas and a mosque that amazes with its decoration. In the inner courtyards of the medressas, listening to stories about the students' learning process, you will imagine and understand how our education system worked in the 15-17 centuries.
Gur-Emir Mausoleum
With special pleasure, I will share stories with you about the history of Tamerlane's life, his military campaigns, and the fate of the Timurid empire after his death. 'The Ruler of the World,' one of the greatest military leaders in human history, a figure surrounded by hundreds of legends—what do we know about him for sure, and what is the true weight of his historical role? Let's discuss at the meeting!
Bibi-Khanym Mosque
Examining the largest mosque in Central Asia from the outside, you will learn about the features of building the 14th-century monument. We will also talk about how today's mosques differ in their structure and architecture.
