Amir Timur mausoleum visit at Gur-e-Amir
Samarkand · Uzbekistan
About this experience
The Gur-e-Amir Mausoleum in Samarkand houses the tomb of Emir Timur. With its blue dome, tiled decoration and gilded details inside, the building shows beauty both outside and in. Even a short visit reveals the finesse of Timurid art.
The mausoleum is a place of remembrance, so move quietly and choose clothing that covers shoulders and knees. Light is dim indoors, so adjust your camera for photographs.
