Registan Square

5/5(3 reviews)

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.

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

5/5(3 reviews)

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.

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
