Amir Temur Mausoleum, Samarkand / 2025

Amir Temur Mausoleum, Samarkand 🕌 — also known as Gur-e-Amir — is where one of history’s greatest conquerors rests beneath a dome of pure turquoise. As you step inside, the calm dim light reveals walls covered in gold and lapis lazuli, glittering like a starry sky ✨. In the center lies the black jade tombstone of Tamerlane (Timur) — the legendary ruler whose empire once stretched from India to Turkey. Despite its grandeur, the atmosphere is surprisingly peaceful. You don’t just visit — you stand in the presence of history. Many believe Timur’s tomb carries a curse that once awakened, led to tragic events… which only adds to the mystery 👀. --- 🚕 How to Get There From Registan Square: 10-minute walk through local streets. By Taxi / Yandex: 8,000–12,000 UZS (€0.60–1) from anywhere in Samarkand. Just say “Gur-e-Amir” — every driver knows it. --- 💰 How Much Does It Cost Entrance 🎟️: Around 40,000–50,000 UZS (€3–4). Optional guide: 70,000–100,000 UZS (€5–7). Taxi + entry total: €5–8 for a timeless visit. --- Golden walls, silent legends, and a conqueror’s eternal sleep — Amir Temur’s Mausoleum is not just a monument, it’s a story carved in stone.
