The greatest poets and philosophers called it “The Garden of the Soul,” “The Pearl of the East,” “The Mirror of the World,” and even “The Face of the Earth.” However, all words cannot describe the charm and originality of this city, on an excursion in which we will see: Gur Emir, Ensemble of Registan Square, Mausoleum of St. Daniel, Shahi Zinda Necropolis, Ulugbek Observatory, + locations of the guests’ choice. You will be enchanted by the atmosphere of this city - the same age as Rome and Babylon, the center of the Great Silk Road, the Timurid Empire capital! While talking about historical facts and colorful legends, you will see the iconic “tourist magnets” of the city - beautiful mosques, ancient madrassas and necropolises. Aromatic pilaf will add delicious accents to your stay in Samarkand and the ability to buy original souvenirs will be provided by a vibrant bazaar with Asian gifts.
