Modern squares and monuments are impressively monumental. It is for tourists: comfortable, spacious, majestic. You can arrange walks, unlike the city streets themselves, where it is impossible to walk due to the lack of sidewalks.
It is a very majestic and austere building. The atmosphere of peace and solemnity. During the hot season, it's cool inside and the wind blows through the open doors. It's worth a visit.
I will take a point not for the landmark itself, but for the lady who talked about the tombstones for exactly a minute, and then demanded to pay for her services. 100,000 soums per minute, hmm. The main thing is that admission is free and no one warns that excursions that no one has ordered are paid.
There are white walls inside, lots of tombstones, and that's about it.
The mausoleum is small, there is no such scale and decoration of facades as on other mausoleums, madrasas or mosques, the architectural appearance is not expressive, it is also dark inside and nothing remarkable, the only thing stands apart from all other buildings, there is an open space nearby and there are green areas around, running along the road or passing along the sidewalk it can be viewed, nothing of it does not cover)
Very beautiful mosque 😍 pay attention to the wooden columns, everything is very beautiful and quiet, it feels as if you have fallen into the past. I recommend you to pray at the Ruhobat mosque

It is an elegant structure and beautifully placed, it is clearly visible from different sides. There are souvenir shops around. Admission is free. The carved doors are very beautiful, but there are almost no tiles.
The mausoleum is quite ascetic. The laconic architecture looks unusual against the background of other ornate madrasahs and minarets. According to legend, a copper box with seven hairs from the beard of the Prophet Muhammad is kept in the dome

Compared to all other mausoleums in Samarkand, it looks very modest. There are no ornate walls and precious stones, a very modest mausoleum. Be sure to visit it, it is very close to Guri Emir, so it will not take you much time. Nevertheless, you will learn very interesting facts and legends about another mentor of the Great Temur!
By the way, walk from Guri-Emir to Rukhobod on foot!!!
In general, it is not the most fabulous place in Samarkand, there is no beautiful stucco and gorgeous mosaics. But you definitely need to visit, the foundation is more than 1000 years old, although the rest is a restored remodel, there is some spirit of history in this place!
A historical and religious place for Muslims, I treat it with great respect, for me as a tourist it is nice to see that people honor their history and take great care of the ashes of great descendants.
A beautiful place, a must-visit. You feel like a small part of the big universe, and another reminder that we are not eternal and we need to honor and respect our heritage from our ancestors
A very interesting historical place. It is kept clean and the people who look after this place are very friendly. But the building has been restored too much, it is clear that only huge authentic doors remain, everything else around is too "modern" and the charm of antiquity is lost.
I wandered into this mausoleum quite by accident, sat down on a bench near Gur-Emir, thought about pressing problems, because after being fired from my main job, I came to Uzbekistan as an ordinary tourist, on an independent trip, I traveled alone through 7 cities. In general, I went inside and saw at the very bottom a tile with an inscription in ancient Farsi. I was interested in the female cashier, where did I get to? I remembered her story later for many months, and even years. In the 15 minutes that I was inside and listened to her talk about this place, about the tomb of this dynasty, at least 30 people entered it, and they were not tourists at all. After the story, she asked me to make a wish, of course I made it so as not to offend her. But my wish came true in an amazing way, after only two months, I found a new profession, which is now connected with all my activities. I found myself! And I must definitely come back, thank you already. All that is on top of the foundation is a new model. Only the first row of tiles has been preserved, where the inscriptions on the fersi, with words of gratitude that their wishes came true. They have been preserved since the 14th century.
We lived in a hotel across the street. We passed by every time, and only on the eve of departure decided to come here. Entrance to the territory is free. A 14th-century building. The mausoleum of spiritual teacher Tamerlane, his wife, a Chinese princess and 10 children are also buried here. The teacher died in China, but according to his will, his body was buried at home.
Aww. This is an amazing building. As an artist, I had to "like it". And if you go further to Gur Emir, you find yourself in a courtyard near the mausoleum.
It's a little unclear, because there are no signs with inscriptions, no explanatory stands. But there are paid guides. Guides often talk nonsense.
And so, mazar is mazar. It's just big.
