Here's a guide to a one-day city walk in Samarkand!

Samarkand is the second largest city in the Republic of Uzbekistan and the capital of Samarkand Province. It is located in the "Two Rivers" region of Central Asia, between the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers. Samarkand was founded around 650 BC and has a history of 2,600 years. The attractions in Samarkand are very old, have a strong sense of history, and are super beautiful! Today, we recommend a one-day tour of Samarkand 👇🏻 👣 One-day city walk route: Shah-i-Zinda——Hazrat Khizr Mosque——Bibi-Khanym Mosque 1️⃣ Shah-i-Zinda Islamic tile works are very popular, as if you have traveled into the story of "One Thousand and One Nights." Originally, it referred to the tomb of the cousin of the Prophet Muhammad. Since the 14th century, the nobles of the Timurid Empire have been buried nearby, and "Shah-i-Zinda" is a necropolis for the female members of the Timurid family. 2️⃣ Hazrat Khizr Mosque Built on a medieval base, it is named after Hazrat Khizr, an eternal wanderer who is considered a saint who brings good luck and wealth to long voyages and trade. Built in the 8th century AD, it is very old and has witnessed the vicissitudes of Samarkand's history. 3️⃣ Bibi-Khanym Mosque Bibi-Khanym Mosque is also recognized as the "most magnificent building in the East" during the Timurid era. It was built after Timur's expedition to India and conquest of Delhi. There is also a legend about Bibi-Khanym Mosque... 🚗 Transportation: All are located in the city center and can be reached on foot. 🏠 Accommodation: We recommend staying near Registan Square, which is close to all the attractions. 💰 Ticket prices: Shah-i-Zinda: 40,000 UZS/person Hazrat Khizr Mosque: 🆓 Bibi-Khanym Mosque: 40,000 UZS/person
