Samarkand

Heart of the Great Silk Road

Editorial Overview

The monumental azure domes of Registan Square, dawn silence at the Shah-i-Zinda necropolis, and millennia-old artisan traditions.

Samarkand is the crossroads of Eastern and Western civilizations, the imperial capital of Amir Temur, and one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities. Its architecture astounds with monumental portals, deep turquoise majolica, and intricate geometric mosaic work.

We curate your discovery of the city at an unhurried pace: early-morning visits to monuments before crowds arrive, private tours of the Konigil silk-paper workshop, and authentic Samarkand culinary tastings.
