There are few expositions, but if you want to check out all the historical places of Samarkand, then you need to visit here. The best time to arrive is on a weekday. There are a lot of tourists and schoolchildren on weekends.
The observatory is amazing in its scale. And the fact that it was made with one hand, without technology, is hard to believe. The children were very impressed by the observatory. They were interested in her story.
There is no organized tour (this is a minus), but we were given a tour by a woman who checks tickets. It was very interesting and informative (without comments, you will run through the museum in 5 minutes, read a couple of names of the exhibits and will not understand anything). What is possible is preserved from the observatory. A must-visit in Samarkand!
Very beautiful! But that's all that can be said. Entrance, as everywhere in the tourist places of Samarkand, is paid (30 thousand soums for CIS citizens). Two objects for inspection. The museum is boring (with a guide, it will probably be boring too). There is also no entrance to the observatory (only the descent down is visible from the doors).
There's not much to see. Excursions are paid, entrance is paid. If you knew, you wouldn't have gone, there are more interesting places in Samarkand. The staff is only trying to impose excursions. In short, so-so...
Visiting this place, you understand how passion and deep interest do not prevent a ruler like Ulugbek from becoming also the greatest astronomer, whose works and calculations will be referenced by many scientists of the world
The place of power, I would say.... I was parasitized by the data on the position of the luminaries of those times and modern readings....The difference is a few seconds!!!
It's worth visiting once. But I wouldn't have gone a second time (like to Shahi Zinda).
The territory is not big at all
We took a guide, the tour took no more than 15 minutes
As an object through which one can touch antiquity, it is impressive. The museum is very modest, few exhibits, not impressed. I recommend you to visit if you have the time. If not, skip it, this is not the Samarkand for which people come from all over the world.
There's not much to see for yourself. Be sure to take a guided tour. A total of 80,000 soums.(At the entrance to the museum. ) and the impression will be completely different!
It's worth a visit. Special attitude to the museum. Read the story on the Internet and it's better to review everything yourself. I don't like guides, although they know some of the subtleties.
Khullas, internetda eki Kitobda tarikhni ukib chicking wa albatta zierat keeling bu joini. Ushanda judah ham kizikarli bulib utadi zieratingiz.
The ticket office is separate from the sextant, so if you don't see it and go straight to it, you will be whistled and shouted to pay for the ticket :)
The sextant itself (or rather, what's left of it) is fenced, you can
It's amazing, considering that this is the 15th century! A stunning architectural monument, where for the first time in the world the duration of the year was calculated - 365 days!!!
One of the best and wonderful places in the city, there are always a lot of tourists who want to see the observatory. More than one tourist has not complained yet. I recommend visiting here
A very iconic place for historians and stargazers. For many centuries, a man at the factory managed to calculate the length of the year, with modern research diverging by only one and a half minutes.
I would like the observatory itself to be restored, the underground part has been preserved.
To get there a ticket of about five hundred rubles, the museum certainly has nothing to talk about. The observatory itself is restored .How Tamerlane's grandson made calculations there is simply incomprehensible to the mind.
