Samarkand Car & Walking tour

Travel beyond Samarkand to visit the hometown of the man who reshaped the world — Amir Timur. Our journey takes us through a breathtaking mountain pass, mystical plateaus, and ancient ruins that still stun with their grand scale. This tour is for those seeking the “off-the-beaten-path” Uzbekistan, wanting to taste the country’s best traditional meat, and aiming to touch the very roots of a Great Empire.

📍 ROUTE:

  • Valley of Demons (Shaitan Jiga Plateau) — a mysterious field of giant boulders shaped by wind into fantastic and eerie stone creatures.
  • Takhta-Karacha Pass — stunning panoramic views at an altitude of 1600 meters. A legendary stop to taste Tandir Gusht (meat slow-roasted with juniper needles).
  • Ak-Saray Palace (XIV–XV cc.) — the ruins of the “White Palace,” Timur’s grand summer residence. Even its remaining pillars hint at the empire’s immense power.
  • Dorut Tillovat Complex (XIV–XV cc.) — “The House of Reflection,” home to the Kok-Gumbaz Mosque with its iconic sky-blue dome.
  • Dorus-Saodat Complex (XIV c.) — “The Seat of Power,” the Timurid family necropolis that preserves the solemn spirit of the Middle Ages.

I have always loved traveling along unexplored routes. This time my choice fell on Bukhara. For a long time I doubted which company to cooperate with, but reviews on the Internet convinced me to contact SEE TOUR. And I was not mistaken! From the very beginning of the trip I was surrounded with care and attention.
