Samarkand is the City of Pearls of the East

Samarkand comes from the VIII century BC. around the same time, when Romulus founded Rome on the Palatine Hill. Once he is mentioned in the Avestas scripture as the capital of the state of Sogd.
And in the days of Alexander the Great, the name of the city sounded like Marakanda. By then it had become an advanced city, a stronghold that could be opposed by a serious enemy. And only the talent of the great commander that enabled him to conquer Samarkand.

The main building of Samarkand falls into the great East Amir period, as it makes the city its capital, which includes modern Iran, the Caucasus, Mesopotamia, Afghanistan, much of Central Asia, as well as parts of modern Pakistan, Syria and Turkey.

From all the streets, he brings to Samarkand the best scientists, architects, and builders, who do not slow down his influence on the appearance of the city, which even today seems to be something extraordinary. Madrasahs, palaces and mosques are built here. Many of these ancient buildings that survive today, create a unique city image.

About Samarkand and Eastids there are thousands of legends, but I, because of my romantic nature, now want to tell one of them:

After Tamerlane was told that the local poor poet had poured out his beloved poem and promised to throw all of Samarkand at his feet. The author calls him and asks:

How dare you promise Samarkand to your beloved?

The poet replied,

"Oh, Amir is great, unlike you, I am a beggar and I have nothing to give to my beloved ... Therefore, I have to promise him all of Samarkand!"

Amir laughs, gives him money and frees him.

Samarkand is unique in that it may be no longer a number of well-preserved ancient buildings, each built by different rulers and architects in different centuries.

For people living in Uzbekistan and for tourists interested in history, there are many things that say the names of the various sights: Registan, Shahizinda, Gur Emir, Aunt Khanum, Khuzha Akhrar, Ulugbek Observatory, etc.

many people who do not know anything about this region at all. But for them in Samarkand history, there are magic words.

Once in Dubai, one has to explain for a long time to an Arab, where He is from. He does not know whether Samarkand, Bukhara, or Khiva. And then, he did not really expect anything, and then he told him that he was from there, where the tomb of Imam Al-Bukhari was. She immediately changed in the face and was surprised.
