Description
Welcome to Samarkand! The tour is a walk through centuries of myths, memories, and moments that shaped one of the most legendary cities on the Silk Road.
Practical Details:
🔹 Entrance fees to historical sites are not included. Each ranges between $5 and $9.
🔹 I keep group sizes small to make the tour feel more personal and flexible.
The tour will cover five historical places of Samarkand:
1. Gur-E-Emir Mausoleum
2. Registan Square
3. Bibi-Khanum Mosque
4. Hazrat Khizr Mosque
5. Shakhi-Zinda Ensemble
To make your experience more comfortable, I recommend bringing:
- a bottle of water (especially on hot days)
- sunglasses or a hat
- sunscreen or an umbrella depending on the weather
- comfortable walking shoes
If you're tired of tours that are mainly history lectures, then book a tour with me! I promise you an experience that will stay with you long after your footsteps fade from its ancient stone!
