One of the main attractions of Samarkand, there are many mausoleums of Tamerlane's relatives and confidants. A small part of the memorial chapels are richly decorated, but each of them has a narrow entrance with stairs and you have to wait until you can get in and out with the flow of tourists. Most mausoleums are of no interest and you don't even have to enter them.

To me, this is one of the most beautiful places in Samarkand! The number of different daubs is amazing. There are many different mausoleums on the territory. There is a lot of shade on the territory, so you can comfortably visit this place during the day.

Briefly about the main thing for free Citizens of a free country with the most democratic and free elections:
"One of the main attractions of Samarkand, there are many mausoleums of Tamerlane's relatives and confidants."
The main thing is short: "... entrance is paid,
for foreigners 40,000 soums,
for locals 20,000 soums"

A majestic ancient monument. It is very beautiful and solemn. The surrounding area is well maintained, very beautiful. I was here 34 years ago and in May 2024. Amazing reconstruction from Soviet times. Another difference: entrance is paid, 40,000 soums for foreigners, 20,000 soums for locals. I highly recommend visiting. A dress code is required.

The best place to explore the art of the palace, normal Parking, prices like all historical places in Samarkand. After visiting Registan and Gur Emir here, you will see that they differ only in the functionality and size of the buildings. Many crypts have been restored in 30 years.

The Shahi Zinda Mausoleum Ensemble in Samarkand is an exciting journey into the history of art. The amazing architecture and patterned facades of the mausoleums create an incredible atmosphere. Each mausoleum in this ensemble tells its own unique story, revealing the richness of cultural heritage. However, it is worth noting that some of the structures have been destroyed by time, which adds a touch of melancholy. Overall, visiting Shahi Zinda is a unique experience that will leave an unforgettable impression.

A must-visit! Such beauty, blue ornaments, extraordinary beauty inside, ceilings. We really enjoyed visiting such a magnificent, unusual architecture for a European. There are a lot of tourists, they couldn't even take photos, outsiders were constantly in the frame. Prices, as elsewhere, could be lower. Excursions are very expensive, and information from the Internet was dispensed with.

The most "instagrammed" point of Samarkand.
The view is really impressive.
THE ONLY THING I ASK YOU TO KEEP IN MIND IS A HOLY PLACE, A PLACE OF BURIAL. No need for lecherous photos.
I was impressed by the distinction between wealth and poverty, modernity and antiquity. You can see the cemetery from here. Therefore, you will not be able to forget that you are in the mausoleum.
Cost: 40k sum for tourists (standard fee everywhere).
Tip: start from this point - if you want to take beautiful photos. The main influx of tourists is around 13:00-15:00.
To be honest, in such a place you will believe in legends, omens, and beliefs.
I am a warrior in my own right. All my loved ones are warriors. Father, beloved man, mother, grandmother, close friends. I was raised by strong-minded people who are able to overcome difficult obstacles and fight for a better life. And I chose the same people for my inner circle. Therefore, it is an honor to be near the relics of a great warrior, who was predicted to fight from birth. It inspires and makes you think that everything in our life is not simple. Thank heaven and the Almighty for all the good things, ask for strength and victories and just immerse yourself in your head.

One of the most beautiful and ancient monuments of Samarkand.
A small street of mosaic-decorated buildings - mausoleums of the Shahs and rulers of Samarkand over the past 1000 years. Take a tour, it will be interesting.

You can describe it in words, but it's best to see it! The impressions are indelible. But this is only a small part of what can be discovered by archaeologists in the future. But One Thing! If you are going to Samarkand, take care of transportation in advance! You need to buy tickets for the express train that will take you to Samarkand, Navoi and Bukhara in more than two hours in advance! You can take the bus, but it will take you more than five hours!

Shahi-Zinda[lit. "the living tsar") is a monument of medieval architecture in Samarkand (Uzbekistan), an ensemble of mausoleums of the Karakhanid and Timurid nobility. The extant complex consists of eleven mausoleums, successively attached to each other during the XIV—XV centuries. If you are in Samarkand, be sure to visit. Majestic buildings of extraordinary beauty! They will remain in my memory forever.

Very, very impressive. Be sure to check out the legend) related to the stairs! At the very beginning of the complex, visitors can see a 40-step staircase that embodies the path of repentance and prayers. The legend associated with it is still alive in the hearts of people. This is the case when it is better to see than to hear.

The place is a must-visit. One of the top places in Samarkand. It is unique in that it conveys the whole atmosphere of the "east" of its world and philosophy. Each of the crypts deserves attention. There is always something that distinguishes you from your neighbors. There are a lot of believers - a place of strength and obligatory pilgrimage.

Leave this wonderful place for the very last visit in your program! If you go here on the very first day, then the rest will fade against the background of these buildings. When we saw all this, we were shocked by the beauty. I'm not saying that the rest of the places are not very good, but these buildings are the largest and most fascinating.

We got to this place by following the tourist route from Registan to Bibi Khanum and Siyab Bazaar, then through an old beautiful mosque with a balcony and wooden columns, the Shahi Zanda cemetery, stepping over the fence of the architectural complex of the same name. It is worth paying attention to one inconspicuous mausoleum from the outside, in which the grandson of the prophet lies.

Посмотреть эту достопримечательность конечно нужно. В комплексе остались отдельные элементы отделки и какие-то части строений 15века. Реставрация и восстановление комплекса в большей части уничтожило старинные орнаменты, элементы отделки и уникальные части строений. В принципе все старинные сооружения Самарканда в таком же состоянии. Очень жалко, что для красивой туристической картинки хамски уничтожен настоящий уникальный исторический комплекс в первозданном виде.

The story of Shahi Zinda has always raised many questions. Mysteries and riddles are connected with this monument, most of which belong to the name of the complex "The Living Tsar". All this is connected with the name of the uncle of the Prophet Muhammad – Kussama ibn Abbas. There are several legends about his death.
The most common legend says that during the battle with the pagans, Qussama ibn Abbas received a mortal wound. Some legends say that his head was cut off, while others speak of an arrow wound. But they all agree that during the battle, the spirit of the holy Hazret Khizr descended to the mortally wounded Qussama ibn Abbas and helped him leave the battlefield. Hazret Khizr placed Kussama ibn Abbas in the Shaaban well, where, after drinking the living water, he recovers and receives immortality. Hence the name "The Living King". It's a very beautiful place.

The most interesting place in Uzbekistan.
But there are a lot of people, even in the height of summer, a crowd.
We took a tour, but it wasn't worth it. We found more information on the Internet. It is better to allocate more time for the complex.

One of the main attractions of Samarkand is Shahi Zinda, which means a Living King.
The first thing to do is to start counting the steps when climbing to the tombs. For some reason, the scores on the ascent and on the descent do not match. check yourself, too, be sure)
