Amir Temur Mausoleum Gur-i Amir Сomplex

The grave of timur along with a few other prominent people is here. It's beautifully maintained and the detailing of the architecture is stunning. Entry costs 40000 uzs for non Uzbekistan citizens and we took and English speaking guide at the location itself for 80000 uzs to understand the history and culture better. Highly recommend.

Our 1st monument to visit was Gur Emir, thanks God it’s off season and there were few people inside and we could easily without hassle stay and listen to our guide. We enjoyed the sightseeing and liked the guide history telling.

This is a 15th century Mausoleum for Turk-Mongol conqueror Timur. The interior tile work is amazing, so elegant and elaborate. I don’t remember if this was reconstructed or not. It’s also one of the busiest Mausoleum in Samarkand.

Like the resting places of great figures such as Napoleon and Lenin, this mausoleum holds the remains of someone who profoundly shaped the course of history. Whether or not you believe in the curse said to surround the grave, there’s no denying the splendor of the site.

Definitively a must-see if you're in Samarkand. Entrance fee is 40.000 som. Best to go early in the morning or in the late afternoon in order to avoid the hordes of tourists. Late afternoon is better also for taking pictures, as you'll have the sun behind your shoulders.

One of the most refined monument seen in the region. I highly recommend to have a guide to describe the architectural aspects, stones used etc...

This Mausoleum is a perfect example of the Uzbekistan Traditional and architect. Blue colour like no other. The main room is exceptional! Price 50.000 SUM. Not to be missed!

If you coming Samarkand. This place is Must in your list. History living there. Nice architecture. Entrance 40.000 uzs like 3$. Card also working
