[2025 Samarkand Attraction] Travel Guide for Ulugh Beg Madrasa (Updated May)

Speaking of Uzbekistan, Samarkand is a must-see tourist spot in Samarkand. Registan Square is a must-see tourist spot. There are three madrasahs (theological schools) lined up in Registan Square. And I would like to recommend a cafe in the courtyard of Ulugh Beg Madrasa, which is on the left side of the square. Each small room is used as a souvenir shop, but there is a special cafe on the second floor. I was able to relax while enjoying delicious coffee. I would like to say that, but it was so cute that I kept taking pictures. Haha. •There are multiple patterns of cups, and you can choose one. (You can take away, but I definitely recommend eating in.) •The coffee is properly ground and delicious.

Visiting the Ulugh Beg Madrasa at night offers a mesmerizing experience, as the historic structure is beautifully illuminated, highlighting its intricate tilework and grand architecture. The madrasa, a 15th-century educational institution built by Ulugh Beg, stands as a testament to the architectural brilliance of the Timurid era. At night, the surrounding Registan Square comes alive with the soft glow of lights, creating a serene and enchanting atmosphere.

As one of the world's most famous ancient cities, Samarkand is as old as Rome, Athens, and Babylon, and is referred to as the "Pearl of the East" in ancient Arabic literature. At the center of Samarkand is Registan Square, which is home to three famous madrasahs. 👣 They are: Ulugh Beg Madrasah, Sher-Dor Madrasah, and Tilya-Kori Madrasah. Today, we bring you a guide to these three must-see attractions, perfect for a day trip 👇🏻 1️⃣ Ulugh Beg Madrasah Ulugh Beg Madrasah is one of the oldest surviving madrasahs in Central Asia. Its architectural structure became the template for the construction of madrasahs in the Uzbekistan region. Inside the madrasah, there are two iwans, which were used for lectures in the past. The domes above the iwans have a honeycomb structure and are covered with patterns. 2️⃣ Sher-Dor Madrasah Built in 1619, it is modeled after Ulugh Beg Madrasah, but is smaller in size. Inside, you can find women dressed in traditional costumes taking beautiful photos. 3️⃣ Tilya-Kori Madrasah This madrasah is the youngest and smallest of the three madrasahs, and its unique feature is the mosque inside. The dome of the mosque is decorated with gold leaf patterns, making it one of the most beautiful dome decorations in Central Asia. 💰 Tickets: The three attractions make up Registan Square, and the ticket price is 65,000 UZS per person. ❤️ Tips: The buildings inside the attractions are quite beautiful, but there are many small vendors inside now. The shop selling fridge magnets inside the mosque is worth a visit, but the others are not worth considering.

This is a travel guide for Samarkand, so the length is limited. Best travel season Uzbekistan has a severely arid continental climate, with long, hot summers, with average temperatures in July and August ranging from 26 to 32°C, and daytime temperatures in the south often reaching 40°C; winters are short and cold, with average temperatures in January ranging from -6 to -3°C, and the absolute minimum temperature in the north being -38°C. Autumn is relatively comfortable and most suitable for traveling. Must-finish recommendation Registan Square in Samarkand Play time: 2-3 hours ☀️ Features: A large group of seminary buildings in the center of Samarkand, consisting of three seminaries built between the 15th and 17th centuries. The buildings are tall, majestic and magnificent, with magnificent mosques inside. They are classics of Central Asian architecture. Among them, the Ulugbek Seminary was one of the best Muslim institutions in the 15th century. Bibi Hanim Mosque in Samarkand Play time: 1 hour Features: After returning from his expedition to India, Timur the Great built the largest mosque in the world at that time. The giant blue dome is amazing. However, because the skilled craftsmen from all over the world were not familiar with the natural environment of Central Asia and blindly pursued height, the buildings began to show signs of collapse as soon as they were completed. Due to the frequent earthquakes in Central Asia, the mosque was severely damaged in the 1897 earthquake, and its structural defects cannot be fully repaired to this day. 💡 Samarkand Ulugh Beg Observatory Play time: 1-2 hours The largest astronomical observatory in Central Asia. As an observatory with a three-story circular building, it has a unique marble sextant and horizontal dial, also known as the giant wall quadrant. Featured Recommendations 😎 ⏩Must-buy special products📢 Uzbekistan's most famous specialties include handicrafts, ceramics and raisins. Uzbekistan's embroidery is very famous. Bed sheets, pillowcases, hats, clothes, etc. are all embroidered, very exquisite. There are also the most famous embroidery plates with exquisite workmanship. Bukhara carpets are internationally renowned and are the best among antique carpets. In addition, Rishton is the most famous pottery center in Uzbekistan and also a prestigious pottery production area in the world. Every piece of pottery is full of vivid and distinctive Uzbek national characteristics and is the most representative gift. ▶️Must-eat food📣 Uzbek people love to eat beef, mutton, horse meat and dairy products. The most famous delicacy is pilaf. I recommend pilaf, barbecue, naan, baked buns and mutton soup. Useful Tips ✍✍ Time difference ⌚️ Uzbekistan is located in the Eastern Time Zone 5, 3 hours behind Beijing Time in China 📞Phone and Internet📡 It is recommended to buy a local phone card at the airport or downtown. Most hotel lobbies have free wireless Internet access areas. Internet charges in the rooms vary according to personal needs, but the speed of WIFI is average in the local area, so it is not as convenient as buying a phone card. Domestic mobile phone operators also have data packages for overseas roaming, but there will be problems with some websites not being able to open.
