Just 100 out of 10.
The place is amazing.
The main thing is to find the entrance.
At the end of a small path, you will find a beautiful hilly regiment on which cows, goats, sheep graze ...
a historical (real) building. Unforgettable views of the untouched desert in the city center. Here you can stretch for a couple of hours and not even notice.
If you want a place where there are no tourists and there is history, then this is it.

The entrance is near the Afrosiaba Museum. I do not recommend the museum itself, I recommend going straight here and just walking around the hills, admiring the scenery. The place is iconic.
Videos, as well as stories from my trip to Uzbekistan and beyond, can be found on my channel. The link is in the name and on the profile photo. Put dots instead of _

Mahal Afrosiab is super. The only place where there was no restoration at all. The capital of the former Sogda. From a historical point of view, untouched antiquity is simply the best gift for a traveler.

The museum is very small. Almost the 1st floor. There is no excursion service for independent tourists, only if they are with organized groups. They did not find the entrance to the excavation site, there are no signs

The museum of one video recording. There is not much to see, the exposition is not very large. The main sites of the excavations are moving around the world. But the video is really informative, it gives an understanding of what was found during the excavations.
Unfortunately, only a field with hills remains from the excavations themselves. It is a pity for the labors of people.

This place will be interesting exclusively for those who are deeply interested in antiquity! There is, in fact, nothing left of the former mighty ancient city, alas... A hilly area that does not in any way indicate that there was once a lot of life here.. Everything has been erased by time. And there was absolutely no building material at that time...

Samarkand. The memorial, tombs and mausoleums, magical oriental architecture, it is better to visit in the evening, with beautiful lighting and always with a guide.

A gorgeous place, hills with excellent views of the city, there are practically no people. A lot of gophers. You can enter from the territory of the Afrosiab Museum (the history of Samarkand), or walk a little beyond it along Islam Karimov Street towards the Ulugbek Observatory and you can freely enter there.

The place is nice, but unkempt. Let's go for a walk, the museum worker warned us not to approach the sheep (!!). And then the shepherd dogs can bite! It's a monument to history....

I don't understand the good reviews of this place if there's NOTHING in a nutshell. Just hills with a view of the city, but there is not even a hint about the ancient city, there are only commemorative plaques, and fragments of clay vases.

The most interesting historical museum of Samarkand and maybe the whole of Uzbekistan. I strongly recommend you to visit.
Interestingly, there is no toilet inside, it is paid and there is a separate building behind the museum

The museum is quite poor in exhibits, more was expected from a city with such a rich history. The exposition does not represent anything remarkable, the design is mediocre. Of interest, perhaps, is a separate large hall on the ground floor with ancient frescoes from the Ikhshid palace.
We were unlucky with the guide, whom we asked to take to a nearby settlement. It was obvious that this trip was a burden to him and he wanted to get rid of us faster. 100 thousand soums is too much money to show the location of the excavated palace (we would have found it ourselves -there is a plaque) and several suggestions about the history of Samarkand.

We expected to see excavations, there were only museum exhibits. There was no guide in Russian. We were able to use the video room service. Thanks to the museum staff for this. We learned a lot of interesting things from the video.

It is very difficult to find. We managed to do this after 2 days of wandering. The entrance is opposite the museum, but beyond it is just a field: no signs, nothing. Climbing the hills was great, but the historical value at first glance is questionable.

The museum is located in an interesting historical house. The exposition is not large. But there are interesting exhibits. The building has been in need of repair for a long time. Overall, I liked it. Because I love any kind of museum. But the museum is clearly just for an amateur.

A beautiful place to walk, feel yourself in an unusual nature, if you look after them with children, there are prickly plants, just in case it's very hot, take a spray from the sun and something to eat + water

I agree with one of the reviews that there is not much to see on the territory of the reserve itself - the types of excavations carried out in the past, as well as an overview of a small part of the city. The museum deserves special attention.

It's not a good place. We were with the children. The excavation museum is not about anything at all. We didn't go to the excavations themselves, the entrance is free.

I expected more of course. But you come and see only the excavations, it won't be interesting without a guide

In a nutshell, it's an ordinary dilution. When buying tickets to the complex, they try not to issue tickets, for some reason they demand a toilet fee. And as for the excavations themselves, they are abandoned (not preserved) archaeological ditches and pits. Overgrown with grass and thorn over the years. There is enough of such a landscape in the area...
the only thing that gives it away is a granite plaque.

A wonderful place! After the bustling city, you can relax here in peace and quiet. As such, you will not see a settlement here, only hills and lowlands.

If time permits, take a walk, imagine that you are walking with a caravan along the Silk Road to Samarkand. The remains of an ancient city in the northeast of the park. It's not worth going on purpose
