Samarkand is a city, most noted for its central position on the Silk Road between China and the West. In the 14th century it became the capital of the empire of Timur (Tamerlane) and is the site of his mausoleum

The mausoleum of Mahmoud Pahlavan is an architectural complex in Khiva

The Amir Timur park is the heart of the city. A nice small park with a proud statue of Amir Timur.

Historically, Andijan was an important city on the Silk Road. The 2000 years old city is perhaps best known as the birthplace of Babur who, following a series of setbacks, finally succeeded in laying the basis for the Mughal dynasty in the Indian subcontinent and became the first Mughal emperor. The traditional explanation links the name of the city to the Turkic tribal names Andi and Adoq / Azoq. Don't miss to visit the Babur house, the Jami complex and the historical museum.

The Kalyan Mosque is the main mosque of Bukhara.

Mirankul mountains are 40 kilometers from Samarkand.
