Samarkand Travel Safety Guide — Uzbekistan

Safety Score: 8.5/10 · Value: 9/10 · Beauty: 8.9/10

Samarkand is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on Earth and the crown jewel of the ancient Silk Road. Under Timur (Tamerlane) in the 14th–15th centuries, it became the intellectual and artistic capital of the Islamic world, its mosques, mausoleums, and madrassas covered in luminous blue-turquoise tilework that remains staggering in its scale and beauty. UNESCO World Heritage. No city in Central Asia compares.
