Day Trip to Shakhrisabz from Samarkand

Your day begins with a warm welcome from your driver and local guide at your hotel in Samarkand. From there, embark on a scenic journey to Shakhrisabz, a historic city nestled in the foothills, about 90 km south (approx. 2 hours by road).
Upon arrival, enjoy a guided walking tour of this UNESCO-listed city — the birthplace of the great conqueror Amir Timur (Tamerlane). Explore the highlights of Shakhrisabz's medieval architecture and rich history, including:
Dor-us Saodat Memorial Complex, home to the Mausoleum of Jahongir, Timur’s eldest son.
The impressive ruins of Ak-Saray Palace, once Timur’s grand summer residence.
Dor-ut Tilavat Ensemble, featuring the beautiful Kok-Gumbaz Mosque and the mausoleum of Timur’s father, Muhammad Taraghay.
After the tour and some free time to enjoy the local atmosphere, return to Samarkand in the afternoon.
Tour concludes with drop-off at your hotel in Samarkand.
