Springtime Wonder at Shah-i-Zinda

#aprilblooms Shah-i-Zinda is honestly one of the most beautiful and surreal places I’ve ever been to. The name means “The Living King,” and it’s a collection of stunning mausoleums and religious buildings that date back as far as the 11th century. According to legend, Qutham ibn Abbas, the cousin of the Prophet Muhammad, is buried here — which adds even more depth to the spiritual vibe of this place. In spring, with the flowers blooming and the soft sun lighting up the intricate blue tiles, it felt like walking through a dream. Every building has its own story, and the artistry is out of this world.
