When we arrived in Samarkand we got blown away by the amazing architecture of the Registan. Samarkand’s most famous leader has to be Timurlane, who declared that he was a direct descendant of Genghis Khan. During his rein Timur made Samarkand the centre of his empire and must have poured a huge amount of money into building ornate mosques and madrasahs. We were fortunate to spend a couple of days walking around it. Here are some pictures of this great city.
