Stone Chronicle of the Ages
Dive into the soul of Samarkand — a city where not only trade routes, but also the destinies of civilizations intersect.
Our signature tour is more than just a walk through famous landmarks — it’s a true cultural adventure. You will discover:
Where the great Tamerlane found his eternal rest, and what the Gur-e-Amir Mausoleum reveals about his legacy.
What life was like in the ancient school of wisdom at Registan Square — and why its architecture still inspires geniuses today.
How love and jealousy shaped the Bibi-Khanym Mosque, leaving their mark on its breathtaking design.
Why Siab Bazaar is the gastronomic heart of the city — a place where you can truly taste the soul of Samarkand.
The Ulugh Beg Observatory — a unique 15th-century scientific monument, where stars became steps toward knowledge and the sky a map of great discoveries.
Where one of the world’s most mysterious prophets — Saint Daniel — lies at rest, and why people of different faiths come to visit his mausoleum.
What secrets are hidden in the Shakhi-Zinda necropolis, where every mosaic pattern is a prayer carved in stone.
And finally — what makes plov truly Samarkandi, and why it's eaten in a very special way.
Transfer and full guidance along the route are included in the tour price.
Additional costs: entrance tickets to landmarks — approximately $21 per person;
Lunch (plov) — $5.
The tour will be conducted by myself or one of the experienced guides from our team.
Please note that visits to mosques are included in the itinerary, so we kindly ask you to wear modest clothing. Women are asked to bring a scarf to cover their heads and shoulders.
