Leave Samarkand behind and venture into the countryside on a private, air-conditioned journey to the historic city of Shahrisabz — the birthplace of Amir Timur. Your adventure begins with a scenic drive through lush vineyards and farmland, followed by rolling hills and winding mountain roads.
On the way, stop at Teshik-Tosh cave, an intriguing natural formation, and take in panoramic views from the top of the Tahtakaracha mountain pass. Optionally, browse a traditional roadside bazaar for fresh produce, local snacks, and handicrafts.
Arriving in Shahrisabz, explore its remarkable historical landmarks, including:
Ak-Saray Palace Complex – the grand remains of Timur's summer palace
Kok-Gumbaz Mosque – known for its striking blue dome
Dorut Tilovat Memorial Complex – a serene place of learning and prayer
Statue of Amir Timur – honoring the great conqueror in his birthplace
This tour can be tailored to your interests and is offered in two variations:
With a local guide – for rich historical context and insider knowledge
Without a guide – for an independent, flexible experience
After your visit, relax during the return drive to Samarkand, with the rest of the day free for your own plans.
We can arrange tours for more than 3 guests with multiple vehicles upon request.
