Description
Privilege
Beatiful from the outside and Much more inside where Amir Temur graves is.
Fascinating. Even inside is very beautiful. Visited it at sunset time and it was very empty. I heard that it gets very crowded in the morning
MoreThe most important place to visit, Amir Temur Mausoleum reflect the history and all the ups and downs, Temur or Timur is a national icon for Uzbekistan, his adventures were, though hated in many countries, appreciated here, its better to engage a guide to understand better.
MoreTicket price is very high ,should be half of what I paid Worth seeing though
SuperbRenovation of the dome is completeYou have to come and see Mir Timurs resting place
MoreAbsolutely stunning.Keep in mind that this is a very popular place so it will be busy.The interior is beautiful and this is an absolute must to visit.
MoreGood experience.Will not take long to cover.
Where Amir Temur was buried. Compared to the other mausoleums that tourists visir, this one is the most special because its laden with gold.They were undergoing construction when we visited.There are QR codes that open up to an app so you can read more about the place.As we were exiting, this lady called out to us saying that she was gonna show us an underground tomb.She says its closed to public, but there was a gate that opened to a tunnel. That has now become a souvenir shop, where she sold us some souvenirs. Haha
MoreWas great, would look a lot better without the scaffolding over the dome.
It’s a beautiful mausoleum with a gold colour inside, different than others in the city. There’s very minimal information about the site. A guidebook or tour is helpful to understand what you’re seeing.
MoreImpressive and long standing monumental grave of the Tamerlane up until his grandson Ulugbek, the last practically of the dynasty and the empire before it cramble. The main building dome as depicted in the photos is under maintenance but the graves are visitable. After seeing the city make there your day conclusion,in the final resting place of the Tamerlane. As all attractions cards are accepted in the cashier and no cash needed.
MoreBeautiful historic location!
One of the best preserved historical monuments of its epoch.
Incredibly ornamented, beautiful, peaceful mausoleum.Tickets: 30.000uzs per person.
MoreSo nice museum and great grave
A very signifiant historical place.
Little museum that has Amir Temur tombs besides others. Nothing much to see compared to other larger museums. 1 hour or less would be more than enough to visit.
MoreOne of the top sites to visit in Samarkand after The Registan. The mausoleum and burial place of Tamerlane.His black tomb lies in the centre of the mausoleum. Supposedly there was a curse on anyone who interfered with the tomb. Two days after Soviet archaeologists opened the tomb the Nazis launched Operation Barbarossa causing Stalin to ask he be reburied immediately.
MoreNice place...outside nothing special compare to Registan but inside is beautiful...you can sit next to the tombs and listen to prayers of locals...
MorePeace-full place.
The tomb of Timur is full of legends.Onyx stones are impressive.I propose to get a guide (they are all over the placebecause Uzbeks are very proud of this part of history.
MoreAs amazing and beautiful as all the other ornate Islamic monuments here!
I think everybody should visit and learn about Timur and Uluğ beg.If you like history jus go there and sit and read poem of Poe the one about Timur .

MoreBeautiful architecture, really worth a visit for historical reasons alone.
An important historical place that tells the story of a powerful figure who ruled Central Asia.
MoreBeautiful mausoleum for Amir timur. Often overlooked. Shining like a beacon at night. Even though the interior is not gold plated like the one in Registan, the lights and sandstone colours made it appeared so. Definitely worth a visit. Walking distance fr Registan anyway.
MoreThis a good place to start your exploration of the historic sites if Samarkand. It is not as big of a circus as the famous Registan, but the decoration is no less impressive. The tomb room is particularly noteworthy and awe-inspiring.
MoreTimur we are taught was a blood thirsty conquerer but when you see the beauty he created, it makes you wonder what he was all about really.
MoreVery impressive mausoleum that is beautifully restored. Gets very busy in the morning with lots of tourist groups. Worth a visit at night when it’s lit up.
MoreEntry fee was 25,000 som per person. Certainly worth it, the mausoleum is beautiful from outside and inside. Doesnt require long time to explore, we spent around 20-30 minutes here.
MoreI could add exclamation marks, extremely positive verbs; words and pictures will not do Amir Temur’s Mausoleum justice. Visit, absorb and be prepared to be smitten.

MoreOne of historical building in Samarkand, built as the mausoleum of Amir Timur.
For me, the highlight of Uzbekistan. Wonderful buildings and tiles and much more intimate than the Registan. Local families visiting and praying together make it more special
Moresmall complex, without explanations, not tje top attraction in Samarkand
The first time I visited stayed near 1 hour admiring the details inside. It is an astonish masterpiece of the medieval East where the leader Amir Timur is buried. This is a must if visit Samarkand.
MoreBeautiful glazed tiles art on main entry and on minerates. The dome of main hall is decorated with Golden art work and is in excellent condition even after a long time. Must visit place in Samarkand.
