It's a very beautiful place, we took beautiful photos and videos here. Siab Bazaar is very close, Registan is nearby and many attractions are nearby. The only thing that upsets you is that the entrance is paid everywhere, and if you have a whole family, the amount is decent!

The pearl of Samarkand. Beautiful, original, very polite staff. As elsewhere in Uzbekistan, almost all monuments are associated with burial. Closer to the entrance is Bibi's tomb, then the niece's, and at the end Bibi's mom. There are two maids in the center. The family crypt.

Another historical place worth visiting while in Samarkand. All the same beautiful blue kupala and mosaic, and I want to separately note the courtyard inside, sitting in which you can feel the age-old tranquility of the world.

Such majestic structures are simply impressive. This is a reconstruction, but there is a lot of work done there when compared with the photos that are offered in the museum itself.

The people are like in the Moscow metro, there are a lot of Germans, French, Chinese, etc. The complex is being prepared for restoration. In comparison, you can see what a great job the restorers of Registan Square have done. There's almost nothing to see there. 2 parts of the complex are closed. The walls are bare. They are prepared for construction work. Guides in all languages (I overheard) tell the same story. No exclusivity. Google gives the same thing on the first three sites. Opposite the Mausoleum, the interior is very beautiful. They offer a 5-minute tour. And they strenuously stick in souvenirs)))

The very idea of creating a grandiose architectural ensemble in 1399 is very impressive; and the high arched entrance, and the main portal, decorated with carved marble in the Oriental style; and sky-blue domes (with touching "hairs on the head" – sprouted blades of grass), and wall decor with carved majolica, geometric patterns and Islamic sayings, striking beauty and harmony; and the elegance of the majestic minarets. Interesting are both the stories about Sarai-Mulk Khanum, Tamerlane's eldest and beloved wife, and the legends associated with Bibi Khanum ("the elder princess" in literal translation). For example, about the main builder who was inflamed with feelings for her, who promised to accelerate and complete the construction of the mosque by Timur's return for a kiss from the beauty. But the eldest wife was already 60 years old at that time… The marble lectern designed by Ulugbek, on which the impressive Koran rests, is also impressive in the vast courtyard. According to the guide's info (and I highly recommend taking a guide!), young women crawled under this mega-stand, which, according to legend, was supposed to help them get pregnant and have a baby. In particular, for this reason, the Koran with the music stand was removed under a huge glass "sarcophagus". It's great that nowadays there are no ruins on this place (and buildings began to collapse in the time of Timur), but a temple complex that has been restored since the end of the twentieth century, which includes a high entrance arch and three mosques – a large main and two smaller ones, as well as a gallery of arches uniting the buildings. Repair work is still underway, and there is still a lot to restore. But I don't think anyone will have a question about the expediency of visiting this masterpiece of Samarkand

I liked the mosque, the tour is good, the guide is very pleasant. There are negative impressions from the Mausoleum. The tour is about nothing. The guide did not go down to the tombs, she sent us, look for yourself. Traders sit at the entrance, giving out the sale of handkerchiefs as a distribution before entering the temples, when they are handed back at the exit. But here's an attraction, I bought it. Some kind of a bowl, like it will be necessary to drink from it, but there is no water in the room at all.) Someone goes for souvenirs, someone does not. But we must sell honestly, otherwise we will not buy in principle.

A greatly exaggerated landmark, the real building was almost completely destroyed and what is now fully restored. It's beautiful just like in other places) Courtyard ) minarets ) Markets inside ) Excursions Paid entrance ) There are no photos, as this is the last attraction and has already been seen a lot)

The museum is practically without restoration, which is of great interest, the huge vaults and arches look majestic and important! The stand for the Koran is very unusual and huge.

These are two holy places in one, located on the same street opposite each other. The Bibi Khanim Cathedral Mosque is located not far from the famous Samarkand Siab Bazaar market. Opposite the mosque, across the street is the tomb of the most beloved and wise wife of the great commander and conqueror Amir Temur.

My favorite place in Samarkand. When I go there, I feel absolutely amazing peace. Apparently, millions of sincere prayers of ordinary people read over hundreds of years have made this place special.

The Bibi-khanym mausoleum and the Bibi-Khanym mosque are very exciting places, beautiful from the outside but very deplorable from the inside, a lot of internal restoration is required.
