It is considered one of the most remarkable architectural monuments of Samarkand. This is a complex of mausoleums in which representatives of the Samarkand nobility were buried in the 14th and 15th centuries. However, it is believed that burials here began much earlier and a cousin of the Prophet Muhammad was buried here. Therefore, a pilgrimage here can replace a pilgrimage to Mecca. It is certainly interesting, but for a non-Muslim it is not too significant
Very atmospheric photos turned out in this place, as if they had moved to ancient times on a time machine. They took a guide, told us everything, showed us, explained, in Russian and even with poetry. Impressed!
It is a very cool and beautiful place, I advise everyone to visit if you are in Samarkand. Very beautiful mosaics on mausoleums and a beautiful view of the sky!
It is a very beautiful place, but you need to reach the very end, you will have to climb a steep staircase. The ensemble of mausoleums is the second most beautiful place in Samarkand after Registan Square
It is impossible to miss the Shahi Zinda mausoleum complex while in Uzbekistan! It is difficult to find a concentration of samples of applied art and names related to the history of the region in one place! Staying there is unforgettable! Fantastic! It is impossible to describe, you need to be there and see with your own eyes!
The place is definitely worth a visit .
You can take beautiful photos.
Girls at the entrance near the ticket office can take a bathrobe or a handkerchief (you can cover up what is open, and at the same time add an entourage to your future photos;)
It's just fine there, if you haven't been, I strongly advise you to visit. Of course, it is upsetting that some mausoleums look abandoned, they require reconstruction.
Stunningly beautiful, I regretted that I only went once. If I have the opportunity, I will come again, but in the morning, while there are not many people. It makes sense to take a guide here, it seems to me. We were told the specifics of each design school, it's really interesting
I was there with a guide. There is a Jewish cemetery nearby. The architecture is beautiful. You can go into each mausoleum and look at it. But roughly speaking, you are in a cemetery
The place is sacred for Uzbekistan and Muslims. These are real ancient burials. As a tourist attraction, it is better to visit other historical sites and green parks, which are enough.
One of the most interesting places in the city. There are very colorfully decorated mausoleums that can be viewed for a long time.
Go strictly on a weekday, otherwise you will encounter crowds of local tourists and schoolchildren.
One of the most beautiful places to visit in Samarkand! An unambiguous pearl! He really impressed our whole family! Every time we come to Samarkand, the first thing we do is come here!
Well, there are just no words!!! Some kind of beauty... it doesn't fit in my head how it's even possible, how they did it, with what taste and skill!!! Very beautiful and colorful in an oriental way 😍
Together with Registan, they share the first and second place in terms of what they have seen in Uzbekistan, it is better to see once than hear a hundred times, I advise everyone to visit, you will not regret it, it is very beautiful, large-scale, for whom it is important to get beautiful photos.
it is very interesting and informative with a guide. and yes, when visiting, do not forget to count the steps up and back, you will find out how sinful you are
A majestic place, the tombs of noble persons from the family of rulers. If with a guide, then be sure to speak your language fluently (otherwise you have to "think out" individual phrases, sentences).
I have been to Samarkand several times, I remember the city 30 years ago, but I visited this complex for the first time. I think that we should go to Samarkand and first of all visit Shah and Zinda.
What impressed me the most in Samarkand is Shahi-Zinda! It is solemn, very beautiful, but it has not yet turned into a solid market, like Registan, for example) I really liked it even without a guide)
I'm too lazy to describe it already, all historical places are very similar to each other. Yes, everything is very expensive, everywhere, even fruits(. Suddenly.
My opinion is that such places need to be visited at least once, this is History. In general, the place is not bad, it is clear that they are watching, investing, trying to make everything at the level
All rooms are occupied by shops. The buildings are of course huge and majestic, but the museum does not pull all this because of the merchants. Excursions are expensive.
