Samarkand–Shakhrisabz–Samarkand: Private Full-Day Tour
Panoramica del tour
Step into an Oriental fairy tale on a private full-day journey from Samarkand to Shakhrisabz, the birthplace of Amir Timur. Enjoy Uzbekistan’s nature and Silk Road history in complete comfort.
Your private driver picks you up at your hotel in a modern, climate-controlled vehicle with free Wi-Fi and bottled water. Travel through the spectacular Amankutan mountain pass, with flexible stops and a panoramic photo stop.
In Shakhrisabz, explore the historic complex at your own pace: the monumental Ak-Saray Palace and its 38-meter portals, blue-domed Kok-Gumbaz Mosque, Dor-ut Tilavat and Dor-us Siyadat, including Timur’s family crypts. Entrance tickets and a professional guide are not included, but a local guide can be hired on-site.
On the return to Samarkand, stop at a famous mountain restaurant to taste legendary melt-in-your-mouth Tandoor lamb (lunch not included), then enjoy a safe direct hotel drop-off.
