Samarkand SAMARKAND Unknown. Far from here. Another continent. Asia. Some other colors and other scents. Reminiscent of Samarkand from the pictures. In your dreams, you can travel anywhere, even to Uzbekistan. In dreams we are together. We wander the streets of the magical city. You have a brown jacket and mine is navy blue. We laugh. On all sides paint and just paint. Colorful walls with countless geometric shapes. Floral ornaments. Mosaics. Domes. Narrow streets. People speak some unknown language. I touch the walls with my hands. I want to absorb both scents and colors. It's nice how it can only be in a dream. I am waking up. Alone. Another day without you. Whether you are in Samarkand or somewhere else, I can't know.

Samarkand, a magnificent city paved with history. Rome of the East. "The Pearl of the Eastern Muslim World." There are many poetic names that ancient travelers, poets and historians attributed to Samarkand, a city that is today in the far east of Uzbekistan, in order to describe its extraordinary beauty.

Throughout its history of more than 2,700 years, the walls of this city have been silent witnesses to many important events in the history of civilization - through its gates passed Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Arab conquerors, Tamerlane ... In addition, it is the focal point of the Road silk, and Marco Polo wrote that it was a "very large and beautiful city". Because of all this, the culture of Samarkand developed on the foundations of Iranian, Indian, Mongolian, Western.It flourished during the reign of Tamerlane's grandson Ulugbeg, who in 40 years built a scientific school that brought together the best astronomers and mathematicians, as well as the far-famed observatory.

The list of famous buildings from the long and rich history of Samarkand that have become extremely valuable tourist attractions in this part of Asia is very long. Some of the most interesting are Registan, the center of medieval Samarkand where three important madrasas were located, Ulugbeg Observatory, Shah-i-Zinda, a mausoleum complex built in the 15th century in honor of Kusam ibn Abbas, who brought Islam to this soil, Bibi-Hanum the mosque, which is one of the tallest buildings in the city ...

The ancient spirit of Samarkand has persisted to this day. If you decide to head to this wonderful place, you will have the opportunity to see many unique monuments and incredible examples of architecture in the past, and that is exactly what made Samarkand a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
