A Great historical moment but needs more coffee shops around it. Let the locals make more money and let the tourists cool down with a cup of cold beverage.

One of the main attractions of the city, beautifully restored and looking great at any time of the day. The entrance ticket is inexpensive. In the evening it is well lit, there are few people - perhaps the best time to explore. In the courtyard there is a legendary stone stand for a huge Koran. -

The Bibi Khanum Mosque in Samarkand is one of the most majestic and iconic buildings in Central Asia. Built at the end of the XIV century by order of Tamerlane, it was conceived as the main temple of his capital and a symbol of the power of the empire. Legend has it that the mosque was built in honor of his beloved wife, Bibi Khanum, which makes this place not only historically significant, but also romantically inspiring.
At one time, the mosque was one of the largest religious buildings in the Muslim world. Its main arch reached a height of 35 meters, and the general complex included a large dome, minarets, portals and a spacious courtyard surrounded by galleries. The walls and vaults are decorated with exquisite mosaics, carved inscriptions and ornaments made in the style of Samarkand architecture.
Unfortunately, the mosque has suffered a lot over the centuries due to earthquakes and time. However, its restoration has made it possible to preserve its historical greatness and uniqueness. Today it remains one of the main attractions of Uzbekistan, attracting tourists with its architectural beauty and the spirit of ancient Samarkand.
We invite you to visit the Bibi Khanum Mosque and other monuments of the city with professional guides. Learn more about the rich history of Uzbekistan in an exciting guided tour with us! 🌟

The Bibi Khanum Mosque towers over the neighboring quarters of Samarkand and over the main Siab bazaar in the city.
It is difficult to imagine what impression this huge structure (and this is not one mosque, but a whole complex - a cathedral mosque, two small mosques, madrassas, minarets, galleries and gardens) made on Timur's vassals, and even more so on ordinary people 6 centuries ago, when it was just built.
It is difficult to imagine that these majestic, ornate and bright architectural objects were erected in just a few years (4-5 years while the commander went on a campaign, as the legends say).
Restoration work continues, and the results are amazing.

Wonderful cultural heritage! Impressive scale. One wonders how such a complex structure could have been built without modern technologies and computer calculations of all arches, portals, etc. A truly outstanding complex!

The mosque was built in the 14th century. It was built by order of Amir Timur in honor of his beloved wife Bibi. An architectural monument, a worthy legacy of Islam.

It is better to visit any attractions in sunny weather! It is also beautiful at night when they are illuminated, but it is best on a sunny day.

A beautiful polomnic place with a lot of legends. The Snarudi is more impressive than on internal inspection. As the restoration work in the courtyard of the mosque is in full swing, its tourist attractiveness will soon rise significantly.

It is very monumental, it is a pity that the restoration work is still in progress, but I would really like to see the finished result. The mosque impresses not only with its atmosphere, but also with its grandeur.

It's a very beautiful place. Next to the central market, you will definitely not pass by. It was built under Tamerlane and with his direct participation. Beautiful lighting in the evening. Restoration work is still underway inside.

The majestic cathedral mosque. According to legend, it was built in honor of Temur's eldest wife. Inside, under a glass dome, there is a huge Koran. It's better to come early, there are a lot of tourists in the afternoon.

Of all the attractions, for some reason, this particular place fascinates me. Such power, energy, and strength emanate. Every time I even walk by, I get goosebumps.

Definitely stay close , and maybe go inside. Entrance to the courtyard is paid. In the courtyard there is one of the largest Korans (a copy), which, according to beliefs, fulfills certain desires if you crawl under it. But now it has been covered with a glass cover. There are also several workshops related to art. The mosque itself is closed to the public and is awaiting restoration.
I recommend it for a visit for sure.

The mosque is just huge, tall! It is a pity that the five architects could not agree among themselves and the mosque was not completed and is currently being destroyed.

Not all the buildings of Bibi Khanum have been preserved to this day, but what has been lost is gradually being restored and imperceptibly and organically intertwined with the original, as in local fascinating stories a fairy tale and a true story are intertwined.

The most beloved monument of antiquity in the city! A place of silence and tranquility, it is here that the harmony of the merging of time long gone with the present is felt. Looking behind the carved wooden fence, it's like you're looking at the old days through the centuries and you can't tear yourself away

A medieval monument built either by Amir Timur himself in memory of his beloved wife, or by his wife Bibi Khanum in honor of the victorious return of the commander from We will never know about this in India. These are the two versions that exist about the construction of this magnificent ensemble. In the courtyard of the mosque, you can see a stone stand for the Koran of Usman (the world's oldest Koran is a manuscript on buckskin parchment, a shrine now kept in the Hazrati Imam complex in Tashkent.

An interesting place. The scale of the architecture is fascinating. It's like you're temporarily transported back 700 years (if it weren't for the tourists around). The price is 40,000 soums. I gave them away with great pleasure and got relaxation🧘♀️ and good photos and videos🎞️

The most favorite place in Samarkand. Inside, sitting on a bench, there is a feeling of complete calmness. Despite the fact that there is a bazaar and tourists nearby, there is still peace and quiet. Adore.
