The oldest part of the city, which after the Monogol invasion was used only as a necropolis. The oldest mausoleums hide even pre-Islamic architecture. Thousand-year-old arabesques have been preserved in places, the text sometimes covers all forms of decoration!
A very interesting place, the most beautiful tombs look unusual. Greatness and eternal peace in this place....masterpieces of architecture and eternity..
Yes, it is worth seeing the architecturally beautiful structure of the mosaic patterns and so on is very impressive, but do not forget that this is a holy place as a huge mausoleum with a large number of graves.
The place is a must-visit! But you need to understand that you are visiting a shrine of the Islamic world! And respect religion and culture. For Muslims, this is a small hajj.
Shahizinda (the living Tsar) is one of the oldest places in historical Samarkand. You can talk about this place for hours, but it's better to come once and see it with your own eyes.

A monument of medieval architecture in Samarkand, an ensemble of mausoleums of the Karakhanid and Timurid nobility. The extant complex consists of eleven mausoleums, successively attached to each other during the XIV-XV centuries. Nevertheless, during excavations on the eastern slope of the settlement of Afrasiab, the remains of mausoleums of the XI-XII centuries were discovered.
The architectural ensemble of Shahi Zinda is a unique complex of mausoleums! Along with other ancient buildings of Samarkand, it is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. From the outside, the mausoleums look just great - you can look at the details of the decoration of the portals of the mausoleums for hours 😍
One of the best sights of Samarkand, the amazing beauty created thanks to the skill of medieval builders and artisans

It's beautiful, a lot of people took a tour — 100,000 UZS for two — half an hour in bad Russian (although he greeted very competently), the content is weak. An hour is more than enough for a visit. The "tomb of the prophet's cousin" is not visible.
Those who are going to Uzbekistan should visit this complex where royal persons are buried and know for a long period of time. Zinda consists of eleven mausoleums, which were built one after the other in the 14th - 15th centuries. you will see different techniques for decorating the mausoleum
It's a very beautiful place, but it's better not to take a tour, the stories are not informative as much as possible, it's better to read on the Internet
a huge number of mausoleums, steep stairs.During prayer, the mosque is closed to tourists.

Probably the oldest object that has survived to the present day. Everything else is restored. The number of steps converged both up and down. Exactly 35
A very strong spiritual place. The cousin of the Prophet Muhammad is buried. There are many historical buildings. 36 steps are counted back and forth. There are many souvenir shops.
The most ancient structures and burial sites of Muhammad's cousin A.S. and his relatives. There is a custom to count stairs, if the top and down converge, then the dream will come true.
The place where the rulers are buried and not only. The most ancient graves are more than 2 thousand years old, a real breath of history! The mausoleums are very different, but all are beautiful. Since this is primarily a cemetery, women should grab a handkerchief and cover their shoulders. Unlike many other places, it is quite calm, sparsely populated, you can go inside the mausoleums, look at everything
