What to expect in the excursion program: The Gur-Emir Mausoleum is the burial place of Tamerlane and his descendants. You will hear facts and legends related to it. Registan Square is Samarkand's visiting card. I will tell you about the magnificent mosques and madrassas located in it. Bibi Khanum Cathedral Mosque - you'll admire its sky-blue dome and arch the size of the Milky Way.
