We gaze at the mausoleum of Gur-Amir, where silence beneath vaults preserves the story of Tamerlane, the conqueror and philosopher

Walking through the neighborhoods of old Samarkand

We will see the Bibi-Hanom Mosque, and you will learn that what is said about it is fiction and that it is true

Reaching the Hazret-Kizr Mosque, which proudly towers over the city

Let’s head for the Hunardmann Center, where it becomes especially cozy by evening

Take a look at the Siab market - when it is already quiet, but still smells of fruits, spices and sandwiches

We will end the route in the very square of Registan, which becomes a memorable postcard for everyone who has been to Samarkand. In the evening it is fabulously good: light, shadows and patterns merge into a magical laser show

The route will be busy but easy, like a good dessert or a wild one - perfect to end the day with pleasure!

And if you want to continue the evening - we will tell a tea-house with a view of the mosque, quiet courtyard with plank of taiga or craft shops that do not rush to close. Evening Samarkand may be just the beginning!
