Samarkand, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Central Asia, is a must-visit destination on the Silk Road. The city has been an important hub of culture, trade, and learning for over 2,750 years. Visitors can explore the stunning Registan Square, a complex of three madrasas (Islamic schools), the Timurid mausoleum of Gur-e Amir, and the breathtaking Bibi-Khanym Mosque.
Bukhara, another important Silk Road city, is known for its many mosques, madrasas, and caravanserais (inns). The city has over 140 monuments, making it a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Highlights include the Kalyan Minaret, the Poi-Kalyan Complex, and the Samanid Mausoleum.
