Registan Square

Registan Square

You can find out about the history of Samarkand with a stop at Registan Square. Stroll along the riverfront or experience the area's art scene.

Registan Square
The Bibi-Khanym is also known as the Friday mosque. We were there just after the end of Ramadan when thousands of men would have crammed this space. The space under the arches was cool on such a hot day.

Bibi-Khonym Mosque

After visiting Bibi-Khonym Mosque, make a plan to see the other sights and activities in Samarkand. Discover the area's mountain views and monuments.

Bibi-Khonym Mosque
Each tile is an individual fit into the space that it occupies. This must be a huge challenge when modern day artisans replace them, using the techniques that are centuries old. That in itself makes this place incredible. #Details

Shakh-i-Zinda

You can find out about the history of Samarkand with a trip to Shakh-i-Zinda. Wander the riverfront or discover the area's mountain views.
