Amir Temur Mausoleum Gur-i Amir Сomplex

If you visit this place, I assume you love history and come here with a guide to get a proper explanation of what each site was used for in the past.
It was majestic and I couldn't get enough of the blue hues. Each carvings, each structure has a history and meaning behind it, makes you wonder what a great empire Amir Temur has built.
This site is the burial site of Amir Temur, his teacher/advisor, and his blood relatives.

Stunning attraction. The chamber hosting the tomb was simply magnificent with incredible intricate decorations on walls and ceiling. The entire chamber gleamed in a golden glow. There were amazing complex details on the tiles, wall and ceiling fittings. A must-see attraction in Samarkand

Really beautiful Islamic architecture housing the burials for a few of the better known royalties of the Timurid Dynasty, including the great Tamerlane himself. There was a curse associated with his jade sealed coffin - whoever that attempted to open it, had severe bad luck. Wonderful stories and myths there besides the grandeur of the interior. This was also our first sightseeing in Samarkand

Lovely architecture, great detailing at the main entrance as well as the tomb. There is a shop at sight where you can find books about Uzbek history in English. Easy ticket purchasing at the counter, gets pretty crowded during the day.

Gur-e-Amir is a beautiful example of Uzbek architecture. Both the exterior and the interior of the mausoleum is exquisite and the ornate design inside is very beautiful.

Stunning attraction.

The Amir Timur Mausoleum is an important monument in Samarkand. It contains the tombs of Amir Timur, his son, grand son and his teacher Sayyid Baraka. The architecture of this monument has influence on the Mughal architecture in India. The interior of the Mausoleum is beautiful.

I dragged Deb out to see Timur's Mausoleum, about 15 minutes walk away from the Registan through a pleasant park. The park had lots of information on the gardens that Timur had built around the city as well as two huge bronze tigers and some nice fountains.
The Mausoleum was very similar to all the other Timurid buildings we'd seen - no shock there - but we had a very polite greeting from the security guard and he welcomed us to his country which was lovely. It's unusual to go somewhere that has so few Western tourists that when they do arrive they are a novelty. Especially in the conext of Hamas insane attacks on Israel this weekend that have killed 600 people. The interior of the mausoleum was beautifully decorated in gold that seemed much less gaudy than the gold in European buildings, maybe because the Timurid blue tones it down compared to the royal red in Europe.
The complex here is quite large and beautiful and by the look of the ruins around it must have been massive at one time. Well looked after now and clean, like all the other attractions we have seen.

It’s Tamerlane’s tomb. You’re in Samarkand. Go visit it! Where else in the West can you see such beautiful Islamic architecture? The tomb is certainly worth the time to visit.

A stunning place giving you a reflection of the architecture of the past with its full glory and grandeur
Very well maintained and restored

Iconic monument of Samarkand. Resting place of the great conqueror Tamerlane. Great restoration done by the soviet Archaelogists. Has a lovely park opposite to it. It's dome is magnificent and so is the entrance gate.

One of Samarkand's "must visit" places.
The insides of Amir Temur's mausoleum are beautiful and nothing like any other mausoleum in the city. It looks very rich and beautiful. The tomb is made of black jade, walls are made of onyx and painted with gold and azure colors.
Entrance fee for locals is 5000 som, and for foreigners is 30000 som (around 3 USD).

Even if Timur is not my favourite hero, yhis place is a must see
In the end is full of meanings, legends and history

The story behind and the importance of it for many generations after. It was even an inspiration for the Taj Mahal, simply amazing 🤩
