Samarkand is a city you fall in love with at first sight. In three days you will see the main jewels of the Great Silk Road: the grand Registan, Tamerlane's mausoleum, and the street of mausoleums at Shah-i-Zinda, where walls are covered in turquoise majolica.

A special highlight of the itinerary is a walk through the Eternal City at Silk Road Samarkand. On 17 hectares, an ancient town has been recreated with shops of artists, craftsmen, and masters of applied arts — as if you have stepped inside an Eastern fairy tale.

The tour suits first-time visitors to Uzbekistan who want maximum impressions in a short time. Groups are small, a guide accompanies you at every site, and evenings are free for independent strolls.
