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 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.
The Cathedral or Friday Mosque is located on Islam Karimov pedestrian street, 10. Next to the central entrance of the Siab market. The ticket price is 40,000, the complex is open to the public daily from 6:00 to 22:00.
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.
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 beautiful view of the grandeur of Architecture is simply mesmerizing, the huge entrance portal is just something Beautiful, and the history of this
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.
A very unusual place! Sacred, atmospheric and beautiful. In the middle is a large book of the Koran on a large stand! If you walk around her three times and make a wish, it will definitely come true! Checked!!!🤍
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
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.
It was built very beautifully from the beginning, it's a pity that the earthquake ruined it very seriously and it's a pity now it's impossible to restore it to its original state.
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🎞️
A construction of cosmic proportions. The largest mosque in Central Asia. A must-visit. Restoration work is underway now, and in a few years, I think it will be even more beautiful.
The eyes will not get enough of the sights of Samarkand, near the market there is a huge selection of dried fruits, spices and Samarkand tortillas from the oven
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.
I definitely recommend you to visit. When buying tickets, if you need a guide, it is better to clarify in advance who will be there and whether there is a permit. We got a grandmother who speaks Russian poorly if we got rid of her.
The ticket costs 40,000 soums, I took a tour on the spot for 60,000 soums and regretted it, an ancient grandmother who does not speak Russian very well told me a memorized story from Wikipedia, it's funny 😎
If you have seen Registan, Bibi khanum, Gur Emir and Shahi Zinda necropolis... Then most likely you have seen the brightest moments of the history and architecture of Uzbekistan.
The largest mosque. I highly recommend visiting at the end to understand how gigantic it is. After that, I was no longer interested in watching similar structures
