Samarkand

Adventure Holidays to Samarkand 

Few names are as evocative or shrouded in legend as Samarkand. The capital of Timur is the great city at the end of the Golden Road. Here you'll be dazzled by the tilework on the mosques surrounding Registan Square, often described as the most beautiful city square in the world. Then there's the stunning fluted dome of the Gur-i-Emir, then to the incredible street of Shah-i-Zinda, where every building is covered in beautiful mosaics. And see what life is like in Uzbekistan today in the huge markets in the city centre. Samarkand truly is a city like no other.
