Recommendations for Samarkand | Spend a morning and an evening in Registan

During your time in Samarkand, stay close to Registan to witness its sunrise and sunset, daytime and nighttime, as each moment brings out a unique charm of Registan. Three madrasahs stand on three sides of the square: the 15th-century Ulugbek Madrassa, the 17th-century Tilla Kari Mosque and Madrasah, and the 18th-century Shir Dor Madrasah. 👉🏾 Currently, these madrasahs have been turned into bazaars, selling clothing and handicrafts that are very common in Uzbek tourist spots. 🌅 Sunrise In the early morning, the sun rises from the direction of the monument on the east side, gradually illuminating the buildings on the square. At this time, there are no tourists in Registan Square, and sitting on the steps, one can enjoy the tranquility of the moment and closely observe these magnificent buildings. It is even better if there are some clouds in the sky. 🌇 Evening Sunset There are tourists, as well as locals taking wedding photos. Wander in front of the madrasahs, and the long staircases are the preferred spots for many to showcase their portrait photography skills. 💡 At 7:30 PM, the lights on the square are turned on. At this moment, the sky is not completely dark yet, and the red glow of the sunset still lingers on the horizon. I think this is the most beautiful time in Registan. 💡 Light show from 9-10 PM 🎫 Ticket: 50,000 Som (single use, no re-entry) 🔸 Sunrise: Do not enter, take photos from the perimeter 🔸 Evening: Enter one hour before sunset, tour the interior, wait for sunset and lighting 🔸 Light show: Can be viewed from the perimeter
