The resting place of the first President of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Many of the locals remember him in conversation with a kind word. The location is very good, not far from Afrosiab and Shahi Zinda, there is a beautiful view of the city, the Bibi Khanum mosque and its mausoleum.
You will visit here, touch not only the ancient, but also the relatively recent history of Uzbekistan.
A small monument to the first president of Uzbekistan in the park will not regret the Registan. The park itself is young, there are many trees, but few places where you can sit down. There are fountains.
A very beautiful place! Beautiful view from the terrace of the historical part of the city (Bibi Khanum mosque and Bibi Khanum Mausoleum). The incredibly beautiful ceiling in the mosque.
It's a very beautiful place. They are well watched and cared for. I think this, in addition to the monument of antiquity, can also be called a monument to the USSR and Soviet scientists and restorers.
It's very beautiful around. Lots of greenery, flowers. An observation deck opens onto the city. People honor and numerous delegations come to pray and pay tribute to the first president
Before visiting the complex, it is better to delve a little into the history in order to better understand why Islam Karimov is so revered. You can take a guide, but everyone's point of view is different.
Lacquered new model. At the same time, it is a very beautiful complex. And the mausoleum, of course, is rich. But they are not allowed inside the premises of the complex. A beautiful bridge leads to the complex, in the evening everything is very elegantly illuminated. But there is no history as such. But since it is located a step away from Shahi Zayed and Bibi Khanum, it is worth a visit.
Admission is free, there is a great view of the city, to the inner area (I do not know what the correct name of this room is, men pray there)the entrance is only in closed clothes (especially for girls, they won't let them in shorts), you can't take pictures in the courtyard, but outside in the outer aisles and balconies everyone takes pictures and no one cursed, I didn't regret coming at all. From there, I walked along a small bridge to the bazaar, from the entrance to the bazaar you can drive walking cars to the Registan for 3 thousand.sum. I'm happy!
I took a walk. Everything is very beautiful. But there are two disadvantages. At the exit, or rather after crossing the bridge, there is no passage from sellers of calendars, photographers and beggars. And after crossing the bridge in the coffee shop on the right side, buy a glass Coca Cola 0.33 at the price of 2 liters 15,000
It is dignified, well-groomed, and services (prayers) are held.
Photographing the mausoleum itself is not allowed.
Excellent view from the complex to the historical part of Samarkand.
In the courtyard of an ancient mosque, well-maintained guarded territory. It is clean and cozy and there is even an official Quran reader. They entered from the right side and exited from the left side. The mosque is not valid, but allows you to pray.
It doesn't make sense to go in and pay 65,000 😠 It looks the same from afar as up close, even worse. The mosque was closed, no one warned! And each yard is a large number of souvenir shops😡 Do not go in, do not waste time and money!
There is a place to hide from the rain and hail! Of the disadvantages, there are a lot of pilgrims! There are interesting places nearby. Shahi Zinda, Jewish Cemetery, Afrosiab Museum
Visiting this place is free of charge. If you have visited the Shahi Zinda and you want to take a walk, go here. It is easy to walk. And from this place, it is easy then, on foot, to walk to the most popular bazaar in Samarkand, and to Registan. Everything is within walking distance. Look at the map to decide how far you are willing to walk and which attractions you would like to visit in one walk
I was delighted with Samarkand with its attraction, a green, clean, beautiful city with its hospitable people. I advise you to visit the tourist cities of this republic in your travels.
It is a very atmospheric, mournful place, especially for those who are interested in his personality, biography and supported his political views. An entire era has gone with this man.
