A trip to Samarkand, one of the most beautiful cities on earth, one of the oldest cities on earth, the equal city of Rome, Athens, Babylon.

At the end of the 7th century - beginning of the 8th century, the city was conquered by Islamic armies and the people of the city converted to Islam. This conquest was a major impetus for a drastic change in the way of life of the people and the architecture of the city. All the historical monuments that we can visit during our trip to Samarkand are the historical monuments created as a result of the people's conversion to Islam and based on Islamic traditions.In 1220, the city was captured by Genghis Khan's army and the ancient city was completely destroyed. From the 14th to the middle of the 15th century, Samarkand's economic, political, and cultural life changed dramatically, and the city became world-famous as the capital of a vast empire founded by the great commander Amir Temur, stretching from the Volga to the Ganges and from the Tien Shan to the Bosphorus. Amir Temur dreamed of turning Samarkand, the capital of his empire, into a beautiful city.From his military expeditions to India, Iran, Syria, and the Caucasus, he brought to Samarkand the most skilled architects, jewelers, and scholars. Amir Temur was a creative artist, he supported artists and poets, thinkers and scientists.
