Is Samarkand Really an Underrated City of Central Asia?

In central Asia, Samarkand is surely one of the most fascinating cities like Tashkent, Bishkek, and Almaty. For those who consider it an underrated city should visit it once with trusted travel partner and guide and you will surely end up saying it as one of the most amazing travel experiences of your life. But one thing makes Samarkand City tour different from other tours that’s its name “Samarkand”. Well, Samarkand termed as a well-formed city, but some places make this place sort of unique from others. It has that poetic and magical vibe that instantly connects your heart with Samarkand. 

If you don’t have much time to explore Samarkand, then you can give a quick visit to Registan, the center attraction of Samarkand and one of the oldest sites in Samarkand. It is exceptionally beautiful, and you will hardly take off your eyes from this ancient marvel. The best time to visit this place is around evening so that the color of the sky and golden rust of Registan will always remain in your eyes. These madrasas have so much detailed work cerulean patchwork and overdose of majolica. 

Then here comes Gur-e-Mir which is another top attraction of Samarkand and people love to include this place in their Samarkand travel package like every day and positively follow the cult story of the rural Prince Timur who buried here in this place. This place is initially the gem of Samarkand. The dome is colored in beautiful blue color, some of the fine artworks have the same theme color that is blue in Samarkand. The side square building with cavity comb has one of the best tile works. If it’s not art, then I don’t know what the art is?

Shah-i-Zinda is a famous Islamic tomb which has tile work and blue color as a common thing. Most of the historian arguing on the point that what if that most of the ancient architecture was done in the 15-14th century, but not everyone is arguing on the same point however this place is 15th century old. But it was marvelously executed by ancient day’s workers. Holly shrine of Prophet Mohammed existed here mostly around the 7th century. This is the reason why this place has a special place in Samarkand tour. 

If you are looking for ultimate cuisine while on Samarkand tour, there is one of the best international restaurants named Platan, has good reviews by food critics too. so, this place has around four types of cuisine in their menu one is typical middle eastern which for sure you had in other middle eastern cities, second is regional Thai and Russian dishes for people who want something different from middle eastern cuisines. There are also some Uzbekistani dishes like “Chalop” which is a kind of soup. But yes, on a scale from one to ten I will give 9 or 10 to this authentically good restaurant.
