Let me take you on a voyage of discovery, exploring Samarkand’s rich heritage and unearthing the stories of the people and places of this fascinating land. Starting at the dazzling majolica and terracotta tile-covered 9th Century Shah-I-Zinda, the "Tomb of the Living King," our route proceeds to modern day Samarkand's major market, the vibrant Siob Bazaar. We'll visit the Bibi-Khanym Mosque, learning about local folklore, history and present day politics en route to the turquoise domes and tapering minarets of the Registan, the Holy Grail of most visitors to Uzbekistan. This tour does require paid entrance to 3 sites. The Shah-I-Zinda - $1.50 The Bibi Khanym Mosque - $.150 The Registan - $3.50
