Samarkand-the capital of ancient Sogdiana is one of the most beautiful cities in the East. Architectural monuments of Samarkand are the proud of the country and uzbek people; they incarnate creative work of many generation of masters. Numerous mosques, madrassahs and caravanserais take you away to ancient times.
Feel the atmosphere of antiquity having visited one of ancient bazaars of the city. Bazaars were the best place where travelers and scientists from different far countries met local aksakals (old men) and native people. They told breathtaking stories, shared travel impressions and knowledge in the shadow of hundred-year mulberry trees drinking thirst-quenching local green tea…
