About Samarkand
This legendary Silk Road city dazzles with some of Central Asia's most magnificent Islamic architecture, including the iridescent turquoise domes of Registan Square and the towering Bibi-Khanym Mosque that seem to glow at sunset. Samarkand's bazaars overflow with traditional crafts, spices, and textiles while its layers of Persian, Mongol, and Timurid heritage whisper stories at every corner.
