Samarkand, located in south-eastern Uzbekistan and one of the oldest, continuously inhabited cities in Central Asia, was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001, for its importance as a key centre on the Silk Road route between China, India, and the West. A modern city, with a large town of vast avenues and parks, cultural sites such as Registan Square, Gur-e-Amir Mausoleum, Bibi-Khanym Mosque, Siab Bazaar and Shah-i-Zinda Complex should be high on your must-see list.
