It was built in the early 15th century (around 1403–1404) and originally constructed for Timur’s grandson, but later became Timur’s tomb. It is famous for its stunning blue ribbed dome. Interior was decorated with gold leaf, intricate patterns, and marble. Amir Temur, his sons and his grandsons including Ulugbek were buried inside the mausoleum.

RegistanRegistan Square is the heart of historic Samarkand and one of the most breathtaking architectural ensembles in Central Asia. The word “Registan” means “sandy place,” as this square was once a public gathering and trading center. There are three Madrasahs in Registan square: Ulugh Beg Madrasah (1417–1420) - built by the astronomer-ruler Ulugh Beg, this was one of the most prestigious Islamic educational institutions of its time. Sher-Dor Madrasah (1619–1636) - famous for its unusual tiger mosaics on the façade — a rare example of animal imagery in Islamic architecture. Tilya-Kori Madrasah (1646–1660) - known for its richly gilded mosque interior. “Tilya-Kori” means “decorated with gold.”

Bibi Khanym MosqueThe Bibi-Khanym Mosque is one of the most impressive monuments in Samarkand and a masterpiece of Timurid architecture. It was built between 1399 and 1404 by order of Timur after his victorious campaign in India. At the time of its completion, it was one of the largest and most magnificent mosques in the Islamic world. The mosque was named after Timur’s beloved wife, Bibi-Khanym. Although the building was partially damaged by earthquakes over the centuries, it has been carefully restored and remains one of the main attractions of Samarkand today.

Shah-i-ZindaThe name “Shah-i-Zinda” means “The Living King.” According to legend, the complex is connected with Qusam ibn Abbas, a cousin of the Prophet Muhammad, who is believed to be buried here. Because of this, the site became an important pilgrimage destination. A stunning avenue of mausoleums built between the 11th and 15th centuries, brilliant blue, turquoise, and cobalt tilework, intricate mosaic, majolica, and glazed ceramic decorations, tombs of Timurid royalty and noble families make the ensemble very special.

Ulugh Beg ObservatoryUlugh Beg Observatory was built in the 1420s by the great astronomer and ruler Ulugh Beg, the grandson of Timur. Unlike many rulers of his time, Ulugh Beg was more interested in science and astronomy than in conquest. Although the observatory was destroyed in the 15th century, its remains were rediscovered in the early 20th century. Today, visitors can see the preserved part of the enormous sextant and learn about the scientific achievements of the Timurid period.
