    Samarkand

  • Morning visit Registan Square which was for many centuries the heart of Samarkand and UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 2001. Translated from Uzbek, “Registan” means a sand place. In the ancient times, authorities of the city were gathering people on the square to announce khan’s orders, held celebrations and public executions, and collected the army leaving to war.
    The UlugbekMadrassah (the 15th century) was built by order of Ulugbek, Tamerlane’s grandson, in 1417-1420.The madrasah was one of the world’s best Islamic colleges in the 15th century. The famous scholar and poet Jami (Nur ad-Din Abd al-Rahman Jami or Djami) was one of its graduates, for instance. It was also a center of secular education and research during Ulugbek’s reign.
    Here in the UlugbekMadrassah will meet a calligrapher who can write your names with unique Arabic script.

    The Tillya-KoriMadrassah (the 17th century)was built by order BahadurYalangtush in 1646 - ten years after Sher-Dor Madrasah had been finished. They completed Tilla-Qori Madrasah in 1660, after the governor had already died.
    The madrasah had been designed to complete the architectural ensemble in the square, adorning its northern side. However, the architect did not plan to make it a replica of either of the other two madrasahs. Though its main portal is similar to the ones of its mates, it is smaller, while the two-story wings, each with a short minaret at the end, are longer and have arched niches of 16 hujra cells.
    Here you can see a unique black and white photo gallery showing the scale of restoration of Registan Square dated to the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th century.

    The Sher-DorMadrassah (the 17th century) which translates as ‘possessing lions’, was named after the mosaic motif on the upper part of its pishtaq portal. Reflecting each other on the right and left parts of the tympanum, it is a tiger-looking beast with a mane - some sort of a tiglon - pursuing some sort of a white fallow deer, and a segment of the personified sun over the tiglon’s back: either watching the hunting scene or just rising out.For almost three centuries the madrasah was quite a prominent Islamic college, although behind Ulugbek Madrasah in prestige. Despite its size, only around 40 students could study in it. Among its graduates was ShihabetdinMarjani, the famous Tatar theologian and a member of the Sufi order of Naqshbandi (1818-1889).
    Here you can visit an amazing gallery of national Uzbek musical instrument.

    Lunch at local restaurant.
    After lunch continue excursion to the Observatory of Ulugbekand Shakhi – Zinda necropolis.
    Dinner at local restaurant.
