Travel back thousands of years to the blue of Uzbekistan

Samarkand in Uzbekistan is a historical city in Central Asia. Its Registan Square—a public square complex in the old city—is renowned as the most elegant of its kind in the world.

From the moment you step into the Square, you will see the iconic decoration of blue mosaic tiles. 2,500 years ago, this city was once the capital of the Timurid Empire—and this Square was where they made royal announcements.

As three Islamic schools were built in the Square one after another, Samarkand emerged as the academic center of the Islamic world.
