The excursion will begin with a visit to the symbol of Samarkand - the Gur-Emir Mausoleum (the tomb of Amir Timur and his children). Next, we will proceed to the nearby Mausoleum of Rukhabad. Then the excursion will continue to Registan Square.

A 5-minute walk is the majestic and largest Mosque Bibi Khanym. This building will make an unforgettable impression on you. Near the mosque is the famous Siab Bazaar, which is over 500 years old. Nearby there is another Hazrat-Khizr mosque and the royal necropolis of Shahi Zinda (Living King). Next, we will visit the Museum at the Ulugbek Observatory, which was built in the 15th century for the study of astronomy. After that, we will go to the ancient settlement of Afrasiab, where the Afrasiab Museum is now open. Then we will proceed to the northern suburbs of this settlement, where on the steep bank of the Siab River is the tomb of Khoja Daniyar, better known as the Prophet Daniel, who is equally revered by the followers of Islam, Judaism and Christianity.

This is where the tour ends.
