This Mausoleum was a hidden gem. I won't spoil it but it is a nice quick stop to add on to your regular Samarkand touring. It is conveniently located behind the Mausoleum of Amir Temur so you don't have to go out of your way to visit this beautiful location. It looks humble on the outside but for only 10000som is worth a peek!
A small mausoleum with a beautifully decorated interior. Admission is for a nominal fee. The mausoleum is located next to the Gur-Emir Mausoleum. Usually tourists avoid it without noticing, but in vain. Very beautiful!
I recommend it!
Outwardly, it is better than in the photo, but inside it is just a fairy tale!
Just pay a hundred 10,000 for the entrance and you will get beauty as a keepsake
👍 Come in and rate, especially the ceiling.
Entrance is paid ☝️

The mausoleum is closed to tourists, but if you leave money to the caretaker, he will kindly open it, there are no tourists, you can admire it all alone.
It is located very close to Gur Emir, but unlike the huge number of people there, we were the only visitors here. When they came up, it was closed, they opened it in front of us. They did not announce the money for the entrance, they said that we can leave as much as we want in the donation box. Outwardly it looks very modest, but inside it is so beautiful. It is unknown for whom this mausoleum was built in the 15th century and scientists have not yet established.
The ceiling is beautifully painted inside.
But she refused to pay 10,000 to an incomprehensible woman. Stupid extortion from tourists in your pocket.
Come in, look, say thank you to her and that's enough.
A great place, a nice young man meets you at the entrance, who will tell you about the place and answer questions. The entrance is not expensive and worth it.
Unfortunately, they didn't get inside, because they told us "starting today, the entrance is paid." I was not mentally ready for this. And outside, the mausoleum is like a mausoleum. Next to Gur Emir - that's where the scale is (it's not a pity to pay)!
The place looks abandoned, but the sign indicating the century of construction makes an impression. Since the mausoleum is located next to Gur Emir, I recommend going in.
