Overview
What this stop is good for
The monumental square at the heart of Samarkand where three madrasas frame the classic Silk Road skyline. Best used as an early or late-day heritage stop when light, crowd pressure and summer heat are easier to manage.
Use this stop for slow visual reading, city context and a walkable heritage session rather than a fast drive-by.
