There are so many famous mosques and Islamic architecture in Samarkand, but I'll introduce you to some hidden gems that aren't so famous🕌 Hazrat Khizr Mosque 🖕Recommended points🖕 •The exterior is cute❤️It's cute like a theme park♪ It's a historical building built in the mid-19th century, but I wonder if it was restored relatively recently? It felt new. •Free admission! Lol You can go there while you're sightseeing✨ •It's on a hill, so you can see the whole of Bih-Khanym Mosque beautifully👀 This mosque itself looks better up close than when you take a photo from a distance🤔 When I visited around noon on Saturday, there were quite a few people! But I timed it so that I could take a photo up close, so I didn't mind the crowds! I'm glad I was able to take photos with a different feel from other mosques🎵 #overseastraveldiary #Samarkand #Uzbekistan #mosque #photogenicspot
