Lovely, but I asked for an English tour guide as excursions were advertised at 150,000. The men at the front told me there weren't any, only to follow me in and then offer me a tour for cash payment. I am not interested in being duped by informal tour guides.

Гур-Эмир — место с невероятной энергетикой и архитектурой, которая завораживает с первых минут. Один из главных символов Самарканда, где особенно ощущается величие истории, культуры и наследия Востока . Начните с посещения этой локации так как здесь начинается история Тимуридов

The mausoleum staff and workers are rude and are only interested in milking tourists for money. Especially, the guy in white cap right at the entrance, he harassed us by asking where you come from. The whole experince was ruined by rude staff who want to charge tourists even for taking photos. A complete nonsense. Uzbekistan Tourism Authorities as well as Samarkand Tourism committee shall hire competent and polite people to work at such an important and symbolic place.

It is a very beautiful mausoleum both inside and out. Admission is 75k per person, group tour is paid separately. But it's better to take a personal guide, they are standing right in the courtyard and will probably offer a guided tour themselves. They told us everything very professionally and in detail. They are not allowed to go to the tomb itself, you can only go to the upper part.

the mausoleum is perhaps the most famous historical figure: Amir Timur, aka Tamerlane, the greatest military commander, politician of his time, a lot has been written about Tamerlane's empire and his campaigns, the place is very beautiful, the sarcophagus inside, the entrance is paid, there are always a lot of multilingual visitors, the #1 tour site in the guidebooks, next to Tamerlane sarcophagi of relatives and late the Timurid dynasty (scientists, politicians, state leaders), a lot of local tour guides offering a variety of excursions, expensive :)), in addition, the monument to Amir Timur on the avenue, right behind the park with bus parking.

It's a very beautiful place. A must-visit in Samarkand. I liked it even more than Registan. Admission is 75,000 soums for adults (about 500 rubles). Do not spare the guide (extra charge). Beautiful, atmospheric, majestic. It is part of the classic Samarkand triangle -

The place is beyond praise! Beauty, grandeur, eternity. You will never believe that these are works by modern masters - everything has been restored according to descriptions, drawings and drawings. When you find out, you are filled with pride for the masters of our contemporaries. If possible, take a walk there in the early morning, while there is no influx of tourists. Immerse yourself in antiquity, as in a real time machine.

An incredible place! We visited the Gur-Emir mausoleum in Samarkand and were absolutely delighted! This is not just a historical monument, but a real gem of Timurid architecture. The majestic blue dome, elegant mosaic decoration and calm atmosphere create a feeling as if you are transported to the era of the great Amir Temur. An absolutely must-visit place for anyone who loves history and culture. One of the most beautiful and impressive monuments in Central Asia!

Must-see! The beauty is impossible, the strongest energy, we took an excursion, it was very informative. Of course, there are a lot of people, but it doesn't bother. A friend recommended coming in the evening, beautiful lighting, no one hurries or interferes.

The mausoleum is one of the main tourist sites, and a lot of people visit it during the day, but we decided to see it at the end of the evening walk (after 23), because it has excellent lighting. There was no hope of getting inside at that time, the ticket office was already closed, but the guard offered to inspect it right now for the price of a regular ticket. I don't know if this is a legitimate option, but the offer turned out to be tempting. An impressive place!

A very beautiful place with a centuries-old aura. Beautiful architecture of Islamic architecture. Entrance to the territory is paid, there is a terminal where you can exchange currency, dollars, for local currency, sums. There are hotels nearby, and there is a place where you can park your car. A large number of places where you can eat delicious and not expensive.

The ensemble is one of the top must-see places. The tomb is very beautiful. It is better to go with a guide who will tell you the details. More: there are 2 visits for 1 ticket. We split up and took turns going out

Tamerlane's Mausoleum, a building with a beautiful blue dome and magnificent interior decoration in gold and mosaics. Inside is the grave of the emir himself, his relatives and his teacher. If you have already reached Samarkand, then you should definitely visit the mausoleum. But the toilet on the territory of the mausoleum is paid, Tamerlane would not approve of this!

The real pearl of Samarkand! Gur Emir is not just an architectural monument, but a place with an amazing atmosphere and energy. The great commander Tamerlane rests here, and a sense of grandeur can be felt in literally every element: from the imposing dome to the finest patterns on the walls. I advise you to come in the morning — there are fewer tourists and the light falls especially beautifully on the turquoise domes. It's very quiet inside, I want to linger, just stand and listen to the silence. Be sure to take a guided tour or read about the history in advance — then the impressions will be even stronger. This place should definitely be included in the route around Samarkand. If you are interested in history or just love beautiful and atmospheric locations, you are welcome here!

A touch of history. Take a guide, it's cheap and much more informative than you'll see for yourself. We paid and didn't regret it for a second + he also took pictures of us wherever they asked.

The Gur and Emir Mosque - the mausoleum of Tamerlane (Amir Timur), his mentor Mir Sayyid Barak, and some members of Timur's family - is a masterpiece of Persian architecture of those times. Huge slabs of onyx decorate the tombstones, the drawings on the walls shimmer with gold, intertwined with blue colors and Arabic script. Unfortunately, the building has not been completely preserved to our time. Several gates have been lost forever, but inside the structure you can see the layout of the original appearance of the complex. There are many legends around Timur's grave related to the "Spirit of Tamerlane", which adds to the attractiveness of the place.

A themed place, beautiful, restrained, interesting. It is better to have a guide or at least an online tour, the only way to understand why, why and how everything was built and how it was used. I didn't really like that the locals were selling a large number of Chinese products, passing them off as local handmade products and with the appropriate value, and of course the locals were "changing" those running up with bundles of money and obsessive attempts to make an exchange at a less favorable rate for you.

The architecture is amazing, but the guides who work there tell a false and made-up story about Timur, look at the map they drew, they consider the entire territory of the Persian Empire as the Timur Empire, which is not written anywhere in any book in the world except Uzbek books. Every street and every historical place has a Persian name.
