Your first stop is the majestic Gur-e-Amir Mausoleum, where you will learn about Amir Temur and the powerful Timurid legacy. Then continue to the iconic Registan Square, the heart of Samarkand, where stunning madrasahs showcase breathtaking Islamic architecture and centuries of history.

Next, visit the grand Bibi-Khanym Mosque and then walk through the sacred Shah-i-Zinda complex, famous for its beautifully decorated mausoleums and spiritual atmosphere. After that, head to Afrosiyob Museum to discover ancient artefacts and learn about the origins of Samarkand, followed by a relaxing visit to Afrosiyob Hill where you can rest, enjoy fresh air, and admire the real beauty and panoramic views of the ancient city.

Continue your journey to the peaceful Hoja Doniyor Mausoleum, a place filled with history and local legends.
