Activity itinerary

Registan

  • 15m
Meet your guide. Take in the breathtaking view of the three towering madrasahs and learn forming the world's most iconic Silk Road square. (from exterior)

Bibi Khanym Mosque

  • 15m
Enjoy a smooth, flat ride down the pedestrian boulevard connecting the monuments, effortlessly gliding past walkers. Marvel at the staggering scale of one of the largest mosques built in the 15th-century Islamic world.

Hazrat Khizr Mosque

  • 15m
Take in a magnificent, unobstructed panoramic view from upside. You will see the sparkling turquoise domes of the Shah-i-Zinda ensemble on one side, Bibi-Khanym on the other, and the bustling energy of the ancient city layout sprawled beneath you.

Afrasiab

  • 20m
Shift into an easy gear for a scenic ride through the wide-open roads skirting the rolling archaeological hills of Afrasiyob (where ancient Samarkand stood before Alexander the Great). Feel the fresh breeze as you cruise along the peaceful, green banks of the Siyab River. Discover a completely different, pastoral side of Samarkand. Take in views of lush riverside greenery, watch local farmers tending to the land, and spot real Silk Road camels grazing near the valley paths—a stunning contrast to the historic city centre that most walking tours never reach.
