Reviews

Good to know

Wear comfortable shoes — most sites involve walking on cobblestone streets and steps.

Visit Siab Bazaar with small cash; bargaining is common and part of the local culture.

For the best photos at Registan Square, go early in the morning or closer to sunset when the light is softer.

Bring a scarf or shawl if visiting religious sites (for women, it’s respectful to cover hair in some areas).

Don’t miss trying fresh Samarkand bread (“non”) at the bazaar — it’s a local favorite and baked in clay ovens.

Summer can get hot — carry a bottle of water and sunscreen.

Ask your guide about local legends — especially the stories behind Shah-i-Zinda’s mausoleums.
