Excellent place.

The pearl of Samarkand. Beautiful, original, very polite staff. As elsewhere in Uzbekistan, almost all monuments are associated with burial. Closer to the entrance is Bibi's tomb, then the niece's, and at the end Bibi's mom. There are two maids in the center. The family crypt.

Briefly about the main thing for those who believe in the power of words: "Apparently, millions of sincere prayers of ordinary people read over hundreds of years have made this place special"...
The main thing is short:
"Opposite the mosque, across the street is the tomb of the most beloved and wise wife of the great commander and conqueror Amir Temur" (Khat Usmanov, a level 12 city Expert, December 7, 2018).
Sad afterword: "Timur ["The real name of one of the greatest generals in world history is Timur ibn Taragai Barlas, which means "Timur is the son of Taragai from the Barlas family." Various Persian sources mention the derogatory nickname Timur-e Liang, that is, "Timur the Lame", given to the commander by his enemies. "Timur-e Liang" migrated to Western sources as "Tamerlane". Having lost its pejorative meaning, it became Timur's second historical name"] there were 18 wives, among whom Uljai-turkan agha and Sarai-mulk khanim are often singled out. These women, who are called "Timur's beloved wives," were related to each other: if Uljay-turkan agha was the sister of Timur's colleague Emir Hussein, then Sarai-mulk khanim was his widow."
