Itinéraire
1
Registan
The Registan is the heart of ancient Samarkand and one of the most breathtaking squares in the world. Surrounded by three grand madrasahs—Ulugh Beg, Sherdor, and Tilla-Kari—this monumental ensemble once served as a center of education, trade, and culture along the Silk Road. Its intricate mosaics, golden domes, and majestic facades capture the spirit of Timurid architecture and make it the perfect starting point for exploring Samarkand.

Mausolée de Gur Emir
The majestic tomb of Amir Timur (Tamerlane), his sons, and grandsons, including Ulugh Beg. Built in the 15th century, it is a masterpiece of Timurid architecture with its striking azure dome, intricate mosaics, and gold-adorned interior. Gur-Emir not only reflects the grandeur of Samarkand’s history but also served as an architectural model for later Mughal monuments, including the Taj Mahal.

Mosquée Bibi Khanym
Once one of the largest and most magnificent mosques in the Islamic world, the Bibi-Khanum Mosque was commissioned by Amir Timur in the 15th century as a tribute to his beloved wife. Its grand scale, towering portal, and exquisite blue-tiled domes embody the power and ambition of the Timurid Empire. Though partly in ruins, the mosque remains a breathtaking symbol of Samarkand’s golden age.

It’s the best place to taste authentic Uzbek flavors, shop for souvenirs, and experience the daily rhythm of local life.

Necropolis Shah-i-Zinda
Known as the “Living King,” Shahi-Zinda is a sacred necropolis and one of the most beautiful sites in Samarkand. This avenue of mausoleums, dating from the 9th to 15th centuries, dazzles visitors with intricate tilework, turquoise domes, and sacred legends. It is both a spiritual pilgrimage site and a stunning example of Timurid artistry, offering a deeply atmospheric experience.

Observatoire d'Ulugh Beg
Built in the 15th century by the great astronomer-king Ulugh Beg, this observatory was one of the most advanced in the medieval world. Using a giant sextant, Ulugh Beg and his scholars charted the stars with remarkable precision, compiling a star catalog far ahead of its time. Today, the site and its museum showcase Samarkand’s legacy of science, innovation, and the pursuit of knowledge.
