The place is magnificent in itself.
Mountainous area, very beautiful views.
From the interesting:
1. Views from the mountain, you will be at the top, do not walk only along the road, as you climb up, walk around, the views from different parts of the top of the mountain are amazing.
2. The cave itself and its history. Indeed, the words of the guide (a free local guy, sits all day in a cave and tells a story) agree with what you see with your eyes, even though it seems incredible.
3. Let's go up. This is a test of your strength. It is very difficult and difficult. But after passing it, you feel like a winner. It's hard to describe in words... It's like I won a race, and with myself.
Benches are located throughout the entire rise. And it's a lot harder without them. On the rise, you can safely lay from an hour to 3 hours. But it's worth it.
There is an old road that is half collapsed. You can climb it, but it's DANGEROUS! I do not advise even extreme people.
Naturally, they will offer to ride donkeys and horses. But honestly, for 4 hours of going there, I didn't see anyone who would agree.
And yes, horses, donkeys and camels are UNTAMED and WELL-GROOMED. I've been to many countries with my wife. And then there were two that were normal. Usually you look at animals and you want to save them urgently from such drivers, but not here ...
I highly recommend a raincoat on a hike. Otherwise, as usual.
Admission is free, the guide is free in the cave itself.
You can take a taxi to the foot of the mountain and back. It will cost about 150,000soums one way to Samarkand. If you order a Yandex taxi, carefully select and set a ROUTE IN ADVANCE. Otherwise Yandex will lead through the village, along a WHOLE NEW STRAIGHT ROAD!!!! THE DIFFERENCE IS HUGE!!!

Очень интересное место для проведения половничества пророка Давида - царя Израиля. Историю можно прочесть в интернете. Место находится в горах. В предгорье расположены очень удобные и приятные места для отдыха и приготовления пищи. На личном авто можно доехать до стоянки. Далее на такси вас отвезут до места. Если вы останетесь с ночовкой вам предложат поехать на своем авто. Для посещения пещеры пророка Давида вам придется подняться на 1265 ступеней. Дело не из лёгких. Также есть и возможность доехать на лошади или ишаке. Рекомендую посетить это интересное место
