About this Journey

We will start the tours of the capital of the empire of Tamerlane from the high point of the city.
The Registan architectural ensemble is arguably the most beautiful square in Central Asia. Visit of his three Madrasahs: Ulug Beg, Tamerlane's grandson; of Chir Dor with the incredible mosaics and that of Tilia Kari.
