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.
The Mausoleum Gour Emir (15th century) with its superb blue - turquoise ribbed dome. It is the dynastic tomb of the Timurids, the pride of Samarkand. As the saying goes: "If the sky disappears, the dome of Gour Emir will replace it".
Then continuation by the Bazaar of Samarkand famous for its cakes and its dried and fresh fruits.
Continuation of the discoveries of Samarkand with the Chakh-i-Zinda necropolis, a true pearl of the architecture and ceramic art of Samarkand of the 14th and 15th centuries.
Night at the hotel.
