We got a little late start due to some late-arriving guests, but it was more than made up for with extra time. A lot of walking, but at a relaxed pace and all downhill. We learned many interesting facts about Samarkand’s and Uzbekistan’s ancient history at the Hazrat Khizer mosque, Afrosaib Museum, the Muslim and Jewish cemeteries, St. David’s mausoleum and finally, my favorite, the Uleg-bek observatory. Could have spent all day but there is so much to else to see in Samarkand. There were restrooms along the way and places to buy water, but suggest you bring your own, too, unless you want to fill up at St. David’s spring! Thank you, Guruwalk!
